Paul Murphy: 148. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on the fact that, ten years after the Garda inspectorate recommended that a system be introduced immediately to ensure that all penalty points are endorsed on driving licences, such a system is still not in place and it is still easy to register a vehicle in a false name and address in order to avoid enforcement on the roads...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Feb 2024)

Paul Murphy: ...on Saturday and making their views known, but I have a lot less confidence in the Government. What is the State going to do to protect people? Why did it take so long, more than a day, for the Garda to issue a statement debunking the dangerous lies being spread by the far right? When the far right is spreading lies about imaginary crimes, why is there not an immediate response to tell...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Feb 2024)

Paul Murphy: ...to leave before those threatening her would come back and stab her and her husband. The local Fianna Fáil councillor shamefully made excuses for the arsonists, refusing to co-operate with the Garda.

Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (28 Nov 2023)

Paul Murphy: There has been a suggestion from the Government that the problem with the policing on Thursday night in Dublin was that gardaí are in some way hesitant about the use of force. That struck me as strange. They were not hesitant about using force against striking Debenhams workers, who were overwhelmingly women. They were not hesitant about using force against the community of Rossport,...

Paul Murphy: I raise the case of the death of Margaret Bracken, whose body was discovered at her home in Dundalk on 16 December 2019.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government (27 Jun 2023)

Paul Murphy: .... The State treats wage theft differently than it does other forms of theft. If I go into an Iceland store tomorrow and walk out with a frozen pizza I have not paid for, the store can call the Garda and I can be arrested and prosecuted. That option is not open to the workers.
