- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Dec 2022)
Paul Murphy: Today, we heard news about fire defects at one of the largest housing developments in the State, the Phoenix Park Racecourse apartment complex. Up to 550 apartments are affected by major deficiencies that could result in a fire racing through the common areas and spreading to other apartments. These are just some of the 100,000 apartments and duplexes around the State that are affected by...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Dec 2022)
Paul Murphy: These developers have and will cost people between €20,000 and €70,000, off-loading responsibility from themselves onto ordinary people who simply cannot afford it. More than that, they have put people's lives at risk by their actions, yet they are still operating and, in some cases, on the same site. How can that be allowed? How are they allowed to wash their hands of it?...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Research Funding (1 Dec 2022)
Paul Murphy: The issue of treating PhD students as workers is the central issue because what flows from it is that, if we recognise them as employees, then they have to be paid at least the minimum wage. They are workers in terms of the research work they do but also, in very many cases, in the context of the unpaid work the do in delivering tutorials, demonstrations, correcting assignments and exams,...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Research Funding (1 Dec 2022)
Paul Murphy: Ireland compares badly with its EU peers in terms of how PhD workers are treated. I listed the kind of stipends at the high end and, obviously, there are many on less than that, but the EU average for a PhD pay is €32,100, and pay in Nordic countries starts at about €50,000 and progresses to €55,000 on a fixed-term four-year contract. Separate from the issue of...

Paul Murphy: 94. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will engage with PhD researcher unions (details supplied) to ensure that all PhD research students receive a living wage income or above via their stipend; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [59820/22]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Research Funding (1 Dec 2022)
Paul Murphy: Will the Minister engage with PhD researchers' unions to ensure that all PhD students receive a living wage income and that they are treated as workers? The truth is that they are well below the minimum wage. The highest available PhD stipends are €18,500 over a 40-hour week. Most of them do significantly more than that, which works out at less than €9 per hour.

[59921/22]

Paul Murphy: Correct.
- Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2022: Motion (30 Nov 2022)
Paul Murphy: Some €91 million has been provided to subsidise animal cruelty. This is incredible. This is compared with €15 million total in core funding for sports organisations in this country, including the FAI, the GAA, Swim Ireland and the Olympic Federation of Ireland. The Government wants to hand over €91 million, the Green Party is going against its professed position to...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (30 Nov 2022)
