Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (30 Jun 2021)

Paul Murphy: I believe this to be a very poor approach by the Government. There is something quite undemocratic about an approach that takes a Bill to do with licensing, outdoor drinking and so on and that includes in that Bill an increase in the number of High Court judges. It means that it is not the focal point of the debate and discussion. Something that is not urgent and which should be part of a...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (30 Jun 2021)

Paul Murphy: The continued refusal of the EU to back the TRIPS waiver of intellectual property on Covid vaccines is an absolute scandal. It is a clear example of profit before people. It is about protecting the intellectual property and rights of the big pharmaceutical companies. It is about doing that now so they can profit from the Covid vaccines in the future. More fundamentally, it is about...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Anglo-Irish Relations (30 Jun 2021)

It is a race we are likely to lose unless we take action, and it...

Industrial Relations (Provisions in Respect of Pension Entitlements of Retired Workers) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 Jun 2021)

Paul Murphy: I pay tribute to Deputy Bríd Smith and the People Before Profit activists involved in working on this Bill. In particular, pay tribute to the organisations of retired workers that have campaigned and fought on this issue and sought change. There is an extremely long list of them that is too long to read out. There is a crucial context to the Bill, which is often apparent in the...

In that capacity, what is his view of the plan to reopen indoor hospitality for vaccinated people in a context where most hospitality workers would not be vaccinated? Have the Department and the HSA conducted any risk assessments with regard to this?
