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?

Paul Murphy: I want to give my time to expand on the point of order I raised earlier. I have studied the Salient Rulings of the Chair and I believe the Taoiseach was clearly out of order in describing Deputies Boyd Barrett and Barry and me as puppets of Putin.

This has long been an issue, starting with the...
