Gaza: Motion (28 May 2025)

Paul Murphy: The gap between the words and the actions of the Government on Palestine grows ever bigger because the words get stronger but the Government refuses to act. What happens in debates like this or the one last night is that the Government comes in and effectively complains that it is not congratulated for not being as complicit in the genocide as the states that are literally funding it and...

Independent External Medical Audit for Children's Health Ireland and National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh: Statements (27 May 2025)

Paul Murphy: I have several questions. Why are the surgeons who performed hundreds of unnecessary surgeries on children still operating? Surgeon B could go into Temple Street tomorrow and do an osteotomy. Those surgeons are not being prevented from doing that. There is a lot of talk about rebuilding trust and so on, but all that seems very previous to me when, literally, the surgeons who are...

Independent External Medical Audit for Children's Health Ireland and National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh: Statements (27 May 2025)

Paul Murphy: What is mentioned here at the moment in the CHI press statement, for example, is that all the operations are being studied from 2010 in Temple Street. We know these novel osteotomies started in 2002. It does not seem to me there is any good reason to leave them out. The argument is they have reached skeletal maturity. They still deserve to know if they were wrongly operated on. That...

Apology to Shane O'Farrell and his Family: Statements (27 May 2025)

Paul Murphy: The main thing I want to do is to pay tribute, as has been done by many others, to Lucia, Jim and Shane's sisters. For 14 years, you should have been able to grieve and live your lives. Instead, you had to fight for justice. We should remember that the family was not fighting for justice against nobody. The state was on the other side and was blocking the search for justice. The State...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (27 May 2025)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach and the Government are using Trump's tariff threats as an excuse to exhume the full ratification of CETA and bring it back from the dead. There are good reasons that the Supreme Court buried it back in 2022 when it ruled that the ratification of CETA would be unconstitutional because it gives extreme powers to shadowy private investor courts that have no democratic oversight...

Ceisteanna - Questions: International Relations (27 May 2025)

Paul Murphy: I wish to pay condolences to Dr. Ali al-Najjar who works in Sligo University Hospital. On Friday, his sister-in-law, Alaa, a paediatrician in Khan Younis, said goodbye to her husband Hamdi and their ten children before she went to work to care for injured babies who barely survived Israeli attacks. However, after Israeli air strikes a few hours later, seven of her children's charred bodies...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 May 2025)

Paul Murphy: I presume the Taoiseach saw the horrific video of a six-year-old girl burning in Gaza. Her name is Ward. Thankfully, she actually survived but her family did not and approximately 20,000 other Palestinian children in Gaza have not. It is time for action to go with the words. It is time to stop the overflights. It is time to ban the sale of Israeli war bonds and it is time for full...
