Paul Murphy: The Child Law Project has done extremely important work in shining a light on the multiple ways this State fails children, especially vulnerable children.

Will the Minister tell us when funding will restart and reporting can recommence? In particular, will...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Care Law Reporting Project (24 Oct 2024)

Paul Murphy: The question that is begged is why there is this delay. This was foreseeable. The period was coming to an end and there was going to be a new tendering process, so why this gap, at the very least, in funding?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (23 Oct 2024)

Paul Murphy: The Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has likened the German-led European Sky Shield Initiative, ESSI, to Israel's iron dome. The comparison is not simply that it is an attempt to form some sort of iron dome, but at the heart of the ESSI is Arrow 3, an Israeli-American missile system used by and supplied to Europe by the genocidal state of Israel to the tune of billions of euro. It is...

Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)

Paul Murphy: The Minister for Health has the neck to come in here and claim that the pay and numbers strategy is not a recruitment moratorium when the health unions are telling us that is precisely what it is.
