Ending the Central Bank’s Facilitation of the Sale of Israel Bonds: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Murphy: First, I thank the Social Democrats for using its time to allow this joint motion to be debated.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Programmes (10 Jun 2025)

Paul Murphy: A shared island should not have an invisible hard border for non-EU migrants, but that is the case currently. I have raised this multiple times.
