Defence Forces: Motions (3 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I am sharing time. What we see here is an exercise in boiling the frog of neutrality, that is, just turning up the temperature, bit by bit, and hoping the people will not notice; removing any real content from the word "neutrality" while keeping simply the word; getting rid of the triple lock, which, as the Tánaiste said himself, is at the core of our neutrality; and signing up for more...

Defence Forces: Motions (3 Jul 2024)

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I do not know whether the Taoiseach watched the US presidential debate last week. It was a spectacle that in many ways is like a microcosm of the death agony or decline of US imperialism.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: The far right is, unfortunately, on the march across Europe. It is on the verge of coming to power in France. We will see what has happened by the end of the week. We hope it is not in power. It will be the first far right government in France since the Vichy regime. The party of the RN has its origins in that regime. Members of the SS operated within France in support of the Nazi...

Gender-Based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (3 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I pay tribute to Natasha O'Brien. She is an inspirational individual to millions of people across this country. She did not have to intervene to stop the homophobic abuse. Lots of people did not do so. Lots of people would just walk on, but she chose to do it. She was then subjected to a savage assault by someone who is supposed to be there to defend us, as a member of the Defence...
