Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: I will use this opportunity to speak about the reality of the EU’s migration policy, which is not, unfortunately, in keeping with the image it would like to present to us: that of it being one concerned with humanitarianism and welcoming refugees fleeing war and persecution. Instead, it is a consistent record of racism, of Fortress Europe and of trying to keep people out. Often,...

Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: I have to say the Government is doing a great job for those it represents. The big five energy companies announced increased profits of €280 million in the past year. The big five food companies saw increased profits of €174 million in the past year. Irish Residential Properties REIT, the largest landlord in this country, saw profits increase to €67.5 million,...

Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: I suggest the Minister of State try speaking to some people who are not Ministers or Government backbenchers. It might help the perspective of the Government if he spoke to some ordinary people. The people I speak to are not terrified of an election — not at all. They would like to see an election and an historic opportunity to kick out Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to establish,...

Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: Deputy McDonald said that if Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael leads in government, it will not deliver. I agree.

Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: If Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are part of the Government, they will continue to represent the same interests: the developers, corporate landlords and big corporations. What we need to have and fight for is a left Government without Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. All those parties that say they are on the left should commit to that to rule out a coalition with Fianna Fáil and Fine...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: It has called fossil and gas renewables. Are fossil and gas green? Is nuclear green?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: There is no economy on a dead planet and yet the European Commission has proposed, and scandalously, the European Council and European Parliament have agreed to, simply labelling fossil gas and nuclear power as green, as if calling them green somehow makes them green. It is a consequence of extensive lobbying by the fossil fuel and nuclear power industries. Another example of that is the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Functions (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: I also want to ask the Taoiseach about what seems to be an incredible case of corporate capture of politics. We have a situation where, on 7 January 2016, John Moran told Uber executives he had made proposals to the economic adviser of the then Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, to include supportive language about the sharing economy in the Fine Gael manifesto. Five weeks later, the manifesto included...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: The Government likes to talk the talk when it comes to the climate crisis but it repeatedly fails to walk the walk. The 51% reduction in emissions target by 2030 does not match the science regarding what is required of developed countries, but we are already off track with that inadequate target. The Environmental Protection Agency stated: "The current pace of implementation will not...
