Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EBS Tied Agents: Discussion (28 Jun 2018)

Paul Murphy: This is a unique business model for EBS from the point of view of the banking sector. Would it make sense if Mr. Kavanagh and the other agents and staff could be brought into the fold of EBS and employed as managers and staff on union agreed salaries etc. as opposed to the continuation of this franchise-type EBS model?

Pre-European Council: Statements (27 Jun 2018)

Paul Murphy: The world is watching what is happening in the US with horror as the attacks by Trump on migrants increase, with the upholding of the Muslim ban, the separation and caging of children of migrants and the speech he made to a Conservative PAC in recent days in which he compared migrants with snakes, thereby very clearly dehumanising them. People are rightly horrified about that. Migration...

Leaders' Questions (27 Jun 2018)

Paul Murphy: That is disappointing and extremely disingenuous because the Taoiseach knows that the Bill that passed Second Stage with his Government's agreement does not prescribe a curriculum. It does not have any intention of doing so. It sets out some extremely broad headings. In particular, what it does, and what the approach that the Taoiseach is outlining will not do, is amend sections 9(d) and...

Paul Murphy: I want to focus on the tracker scandal. Mr. Byrne has said that he recognises that the bank failed in its responsibility to provide proper levels of transparency and information and that now it has implemented fair settlements for everybody affected. Would he accept that, in its assessment of the problem and implementation of fair settlements, the bank has taken the narrowest possible view...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Allied Irish Banks (21 Jun 2018)

Mr. Byrne is saying those people are not entitled to compensation. Is that correct?
