Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Climate Change Policy (10 Oct 2018)

Paul Murphy: I presume the Minister read the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, report from two days ago. The findings are absolutely devastating in what it means for humanity.

Another 0.5° Celsius rise would significantly worsen the risk of drought, floods, extreme heat and...

It should be prepared for a massive Saturday protest to take place in the coming weeks, a protest that will have as its...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Budget Statement 2019 (9 Oct 2018)

Paul Murphy: And the Independent Alliance, of course. We would not let it away with that. They should be prepared for a new wave of housing occupations as the activists involved in Take Back the City and those inspired by it, who have given new impetus to the housing movement we saw with 10,000 people out on the streets, again take action to highlight vacant housing and the resources that exist in our...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2018)

Paul Murphy: Why?

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2018)

Paul Murphy: The Minister has told the House that he has no ideological position on housing. That is the best capitalist ideology of all.

The Government has an ideological bias against public and social housing. That is clear from what...
