Social and Affordable Housing Supply: Motion [Private Members] (26 Oct 2022)

Paul Murphy: None of this is natural or inevitable. The scale of the housing crisis and how it affects ordinary people is a consequence of policy.

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Paul Murphy: I welcome many aspects of this motion, in particular the call for privatised routes to be renationalised. This should start immediately with the pathetic excuse for a service being inflicted on ordinary people by Go-Ahead Ireland.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Offices (25 Oct 2022)

If they cannot find a space in the limited staff car park and have...
