Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (13 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the growing crisis in education in Dublin, where many schools are reporting that teachers are leaving to find positions in other parts of the country because they cannot afford to rent or the price of buying homes in Dublin. One Dublin school has reported that six teachers have left to work outside of Dublin, where accommodation costs are not as high. Some...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (13 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: It sounds like the discussion about solidarity with Ukraine took up a fair amount of time during the talks with Prime Minister Rutte.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (13 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: Often, when US imperialism is criticised in here, the Taoiseach is quite sensitive about it, it might be fair to say. It appears he thinks the US is a force for good and for human rights and democracy around the world. In that context, I wonder if he saw the interview with John Bolton on CNN yesterday. John Bolton is a senior figure of the US political establishment, a former US Under...

Paul Murphy: Yesterday, when questioned about this at Leaders' Questions , the Taoiseach said if we passed this Bill to reduce rents for ordinary people, there would be no landlords left in Ireland.

Rent Reduction Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (13 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: All across the House. The vast majority of the landlords are on the Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael side and among the Independents who voted with the Government.

It...
