Paul Murphy: I appeal to the Chair to stop the Taoiseach from intervening.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Ukraine War (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: I will restate my basic points. I am opposed to the criminal invasion. I call for the immediate withdrawal of all forces. It is the right of Ukrainian people to decide their future; it is not for Russia to decide. I am against sending Irish troops to participate in a war against Russia in Ukraine. I am asking the Taoiseach whether he agrees with his candidate in the presidential election...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: I want to ask about transport infrastructure, of which buses are the easiest, quickest and cheapest part to deploy. Every day, pretty much, I get emails about the state of the bus services in Ballycullen, Knocklyon and Rathfarnham. The 15 bus service is the busiest route in Dublin and the 15B is also grossly overcrowded. What is happening is that buses routinely fill up in the morning...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: Not agreed.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: Can I ask whether we are going to schedule a debate about the new principle being espoused by a presidential candidate that TDs should have to declare previous professional work relating to a topic before speaking on it in the Dáil? For example, the Minister of justice, who I thought spoke well on this yesterday, would have to declare, before he spoke about violence, if he was ever...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: I was also of the understanding that there would be two separate discussions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: I thank Mr. Herrick for his opening statement on IHREC's work. He indicated that the commission has been designated as one of the fundamental rights regulators. Has it received any extra resourcing as a result of that designation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: To clarify, Mr. Herrick is saying that, as far as he knows, none of the bodies designated as fundamental rights regulators of high-risk AI under the EU AI Act have been given any extra resources to enable them to do that work. To my knowledge, no. We have taken the initiative to convene meetings of the designated Article 77 bodies. From our perspective, we are examining how we might...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: Does Mr. Herrick have any idea of the sorts of resources he would need, the number of staff and the amount required to have appropriate funding?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: I thank Ms Keatinge for that. It was mentioned last week that AI is being used in the public sector to process grant applications in the Department of agriculture, to streamline the process, etc. The officials stated this was not high-risk activity. At the very least, it is a grey area in some respects. It definitely seems to me that if such a process were to be used for social welfare...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: I thank Mr. Herrick. One of the points our guests made is that they have raised concerns with the Department of public expenditure and reform over the fact that its guidelines on the responsible use of AI in the public service do not refer to the public sector human rights and equality duty. We had officials from that Department in here last week and it was striking that their opening...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: I thank the witnesses for their presentations, which I very much agree with. On the Erin chatbot, Dr. Shrishak said that he learned through FOI requests that the Department did not run a tender process, performed no risk assessment, no bias tests and no environmental impact assessment for any of these. That is obviously very concerning. It would seem very unusual that there was no tender...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and the State: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)
Paul Murphy: How did it end up being deployed if it was not supposed to be deployed? Who made that decision?
