- Statement by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (24 Jan 2023)
Paul Murphy: The Minister also said last week that he sold tickets with a donation value of €334 in 2020 to Michael Stone. Is that right?

Paul Murphy: That would also be a donation to Fine Gael North Central, presumably?
- Statement by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (24 Jan 2023)
Paul Murphy: Okay, but it was a donation to Fine Gael.
- Statement by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (24 Jan 2023)
Paul Murphy: Collectively, in 2020, with a donation of €972, and the figures of €434.20 and €334 in 2020, that is a total of €1,740 in that year. Is that accurate?
- Statement by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (24 Jan 2023)
Paul Murphy: That does not matter in terms of the legislation.
- Statement by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (24 Jan 2023)
Paul Murphy: This is the problem. When the Minister begins to tell untruths he begins to trip himself up. It does not make any difference where the donations went. If they were donations to Fine Gael, they fall under the rules for donations to a party. The Minister is, presumably, aware that if a party receives donations or donations in aggregate exceeding €1,500 in any one year, it needs to...
- Statement by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (24 Jan 2023)
Paul Murphy: Again I emphasise that this does not matter. The Minister is known to be quite good with figures: €972, €434.20 and €343 is a total of €1,740, when the maximum that can be accepted without being accounted for in the election statement is €1,500. Yet Michael Stone does not appear on the donation statement. The Minister is just landing Fine Gael in it with...

Paul Murphy: It makes no difference whatsoever. They are two arms of Fine Gael. The Minister is responsible for SIPO. He is meant to know this stuff. In 2017, the Minister became aware of the issue around the use of a van in 2016. Why on earth did he proceed to do the same thing all over again in 2020?

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Action Plan (24 Jan 2023)
Paul Murphy: Ireland’s electricity emissions increased by 4% in the past year. The climate action plan requires electricity emissions to fall by 75% by 2030. Almost the entire carbon budget for electricity up to 2025 has now already been used up. The main reason is that electricity generation increased by 3%. Even though coal and oil generation fell and wind generation rose, emissions still...

Paul Murphy: Victims of apartment and duplex defects were very happy last week to hear the Government announce that there will be a redress scheme and it will be retrospective but they also know from the experience of the mica homeowners who had 100% schemes supposedly announced for them over a year ago and are still waiting, in reality the small print means it is significantly less than 100%. They...
