- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (30 Jul 2020)
Paul Murphy: The point of order is as follows: we have a proposal from the Business Committee about the order for the rest of this evening's session. Members may correct me if I am wrong but it is probably the first time in the history of the Business Committee that the Government is opposing the proposal from the Business Committee and has its own amendment. The reason for that is that it is not enough...

- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (30 Jul 2020)
Paul Murphy: The point of order though, a Leas-Cheann Chomhairle, is that it is not enough to do that, but then the Government wants to do it without having any debate whatsoever.
- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (30 Jul 2020)

- Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 Jul 2020)
Paul Murphy: That is no problem at all. I was essentially making the point that this Bill is missing anything to address the situation facing the Debenhams workers and other workers who may be in the same situation in the future. There is a difference in the approach taken by the current Taoiseach compared with what he said about Clerys over five years ago. At that time, he spoke about what happened to...

- Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage (30 Jul 2020)
Paul Murphy: Before addressing the Bill I will briefly address a matter that is down for decision without debate today. It would be very unfortunate if we made a decision on it without any debate. I think it would be wrong to proceed with the proposal in question. It was agreed between the Government and Sinn Féin representatives at the committee dealing with Dáil reform and saw dissent at...
