Paul Murphy: I support Deputy Pearse Doherty's amendment as a limited step with which we would agree in terms of taking low paid workers out of the USC net.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (8 Nov 2016)

Paul Murphy: To follow up on the Taoiseach's comments on Article 50 and when it would be triggered, he seems to be rowing back somewhat from the comments that were reported in terms of a real possibility that it could be triggered earlier than March and even before the end of this year.
