Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2017: Motion (6 Dec 2017)

Paul Murphy: Here we are again. Another year has passed and another €80 million is being provided for the horse and greyhound racing industries. The Minister, in his speech, as far as I can tell, makes no reference whatsoever to the issues of animal welfare and animal rights. How long can he continue to ignore the horrific conditions faced by greyhounds in this industry? I know people who own...

Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2017: Motion (6 Dec 2017)

Paul Murphy: What will be done about this? It is all very well for the IGB to state it does not want dogs to be treated in this way, but that is happening now. When is the code going to be put on a statutory footing? When will the Government stop exports to states such as Macau, China, Pakistan and all those with no or inadequate animal welfare laws? When will there be an investigation into where...

Public Service Pay and Pensions Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2017)

Paul Murphy: That is great; I have a copy in front of me too. It states clearly that legislation cannot be enacted that would have the effect of imposing a charge on the people or the State without the consent of the Government, that is, on Final Stage. Standing Orders prevent us from even bringing them forward on Committee Stage to be discussed or debated to enable political pressure to build on the...

Public Service Pay and Pensions Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2017)

Paul Murphy: Agreed. I support the amendment simply because our amendments and others that would have the effect of undoing pay discrimination and pay inequality have been ruled out of order. The amendment which calls for the presentation of a report is the best we can do. I put it to the Government that either way this amendment will be passed. The Minister will have to bring forward a report within...

Public Service Pay and Pensions Bill 2017: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2017)

Paul Murphy: I support Deputy Healy's amendment. I remind the Minister of State and the Government of the slogan that I am sure they now want to forget, namely, "Keep the Recovery Going". How can they justify having gone to the people almost two years ago with that slogan while continuing with measures that were implemented under the guise of a supposed financial emergency? How can they square the two...
