Paul Murphy: I accept this matter is not the primary responsibility of the Minister of State, but a Department with responsibility for community and rural affairs should be supporting the fight for rural communities to get the services they need. I ask the Minister of State to add his name to the list of those calling for a women's refuge in Carlow, and in all those counties without one. I will set out...

Financial Resolutions 2021 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (13 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: I am sharing time with Deputies Boyd Barrett and Barry. As we explained and outlined clearly yesterday, this is a budget for banks, landlords and developers.

I buy something, I feel I did not get it or whatever and I do a chargeback as a result, but the online retailer says that I am barred and cannot buy anything from it again. Would that be covered by this Bill or is it the right of a retailer to decide that someone cannot buy something from it?

Paul Murphy: I thank Ms McNamara.

Financial Resolutions 2021 - Budget Statement 2022 (12 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: The Government spin is that this is a back-to-normal budget after Covid-19. It is that. We are going back to the capitalist normal of reliance on the market, which means a further deepening of the housing crisis when rents are completely out of control, prices are going through the roof and 10,000 people are homeless. It means a further growth of the hospital waiting lists when there are...
