Paul Murphy: -----is not interested in dealing with young people. With regard to the Bill, the notion Deputy Mitchell put forward that Irish people can lose the run of themselves by electing a 21 year old President - the idea that the worst thing that could possibly befall the State is that the people in a democracy would elect somebody who happened to be 21 rather than 35 or older - is bizarre. The...

Paul Murphy: We have here a proposal from Government, originating from the Constitutional Convention, for involving young people in politics. The Government is able to find the time and the space for a referendum on this issue but has refused to provide a referendum for the much more urgently needed repeal of the barbaric eighth amendment of the Constitution. We will vote in favour of this referendum...

Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)

Paul Murphy: I will put my question. What consolation prize is the Taoiseach going to give the Labour Party for enthusiastically hammering the final nails in its coffin? Will the party take the chance? Will the Taoiseach take the chance of voting for the Private Members' motion by the anti-austerity alliance tonight to abolish water charges?

Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)

Paul Murphy: Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall and that is the situation facing the Government. It is in that moment between pride and a fall. Faced with a huge protest on Saturday and the prospect of a massive boycott, all talk of listening has been forgotten and replaced by a high-handed, arrogant and bullying approach. The Minister for the Environment, Community and...

Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)

Paul Murphy: I will finish on this point. Was Elizabeth Arnett of Irish Water not correct when she said this morning that there would be no penalties in the case of the first four bills? People can, therefore, refuse to pay, without penalty until after the next general election. They can join the group that will bin their bills outside the Dáil on 18 April. This campaign will sink water charges,...

Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach says the promised Bill will be introduced in the next few weeks. On 3 February he told us it would be published "in the next couple of weeks". The next time we raise the issue will we be told that it will be introduced in the next couple of months and then the next few months? This is a Bill that never appears because the Government wants to use it to scare people, but the...

Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)

Last night we heard the figure of 1.23 million, which was an increase of 120,000 in the past seven weeks. The Government's motion refers to a figure of 1.237 million...

Water Charges: Motion [Private Members] (24 Mar 2015)

Paul Murphy: No, they do not. That is ridiculous. Is the Minister announcing the introduction of a new tax?

Water Charges: Motion [Private Members] (24 Mar 2015)

Paul Murphy: 8 o’clock It is a microcosm of a system in which things operate for the 1% against the interests of the 99% and where power is concentrated economically, in the media and politically in an extremely small number of hands. Out of the movement against water charges comes the potential to utterly change politics in Ireland. It has already changed politics significantly but this...
