Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Paul Murphy: I will add a point on law enforcement information being shared. As far as I know, that matter is covered in the Data Protection Act 2018 which transposed the law enforcement directive.

Questions on Promised Legislation (3 May 2018)

He faced a similar situation on two previous...

Summer Economic Statement 2016: Statements (Resumed) (23 Jun 2016)

Paul Murphy: ...of capitalist development of this State, which is held by all the establishment and political parties and which, effectively, is about hawking Ireland as the place for multinationals to come and pay very little tax, where there is little data protection and labour regulation.
