Paul Murphy: First, this is not a few bad apples in the construction industry when you are dealing with 50% to 80% of all apartments and duplexes built between 1991 and 2013. As it was happening in a widespread way, in terms of recouping the costs, is there not a case for a tax on the profits of the construction industry responsible for this problem? Second, if the Minister has time, will he expand...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defective Building Materials (26 Jan 2023)

Paul Murphy: All of the apartment and duplex owners I am in touch with were very happy to see that a scheme was announced. They have been campaigning for this for a long time as the only just and workable solution.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (25 Jan 2023)

Paul Murphy: I ask again about the refugee discrimination the Government is engaged in. Why is a person from Ukraine more entitled to be accommodated than a person from Yemen or Syria, when both are fleeing similar conditions? The Taoiseach earlier said it was because they have a different status but it is a political decision of the Government to give them such a status so it does not answer the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (25 Jan 2023)

Paul Murphy: The action plan on bullying refers to progress in providing safe and supportive school environments for LGBTQ+ students. My question to the Taoiseach is, what will the Department do in circumstances where that is not the case and where there is, in the words of the staff of the Spiritan-run Templeogue College, a toxic culture and atmosphere? I will quote from a collective grievance...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (25 Jan 2023)

Paul Murphy: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the incredible decision that people coming from Syria or refugees from elsewhere in the world other than Ukraine will have to sleep on the streets when Ukrainians, correctly, but it should be the case for everybody, will have emergency accommodation available to them. How can the Government justify such discrimination? Is it because the Ukrainians are...

Paul Murphy: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee, for their presentations and for their campaigning work on this issue. Barely a week goes by when I do not get letters from constituents about this issue. The phrase "Nothing about us without us" sums up this issue. As someone made the point earlier - I think it was Mr. Collins - we are dealing with deferred wages in this case. That is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Industrial Relations (Provisions in Respect of Pension Entitlements of Retired Workers) Bill 2021: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Paul Murphy: I will make one other point about that. The suggestion made earlier, which is often made in this debate, is that this is really about the underfunding of pension schemes. It seems to me that is a conflation of two issues. Sometimes there may be an overlap of those two issues. I understand this can arise in situations where there is no question of underfunding of pension schemes...
