Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: It is now over two months since I asked the Taoiseach how many people had paid water charges. One would have though that was a simple question. The Taoiseach answered it by telling me he was not here to spoon-feed me, but advised me to "toddle along" to the audiovisual room at 4 p.m. on 13 May where Irish Water would give me the answer to any question I wished to ask. He then told us the...

Other Questions: Foreign Policy (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: We have had numerous questions here about Irish citizen Ibrahim Halawa, who is still in prison in Egypt and has been for almost two years. The Government's response to these questions has always been the same and it is evident that the Government's strategy and approach is not working.

Other Questions: Ministerial Dialogue (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: That is yet another threat from the Minister, the same threats that have come from the Eurogroup, the Commission President and the President of the European Parliament. The Greek Government was negotiating under pressure with a gun to its head. It was told that if it did not agree to the horrific austerity that will destroy the Greek people and economy, it would be out of the eurozone and...

Other Questions: Ministerial Dialogue (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: This agreement is about the deliberate humiliation of the Greek people and the Greek Government. Some of the finance Ministers at the Eurogroup admitted it. They said the reason the agreement is so harsh is because the Greek people, through an incredible act of insubordination, had a democratic referendum and opted to reject austerity. As a result, the EU demanded more austerity. Does a...

Other Questions: Ministerial Dialogue (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: The Government's public profession of sympathy for the Greek people and occasional abuse of the word "solidarity" in respect of them has been exposed as entirely empty rhetoric, which covered up, behind the scenes in the closed rooms in Brussels, active participation in a coup with which the Syriza Government was unfortunately complicit and which has reduced Greece not to a sovereign state...
