Paul Murphy: Has the Minister been lobbied by the data centre industry either individually as data centres or the varying lobbying organisations? If so, what have been they been pushing for and what has been his response? What measures are being taken to ensure the policy on data centres does not place significant stress on Ireland's water supply, as well as the stress on our electricity supply? We...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 Oct 2024)
Paul Murphy: I do not know whether the Minister has noticed but there are seven people outside the Dáil who have been there on hunger strike since Monday. After four days of no food, they are in a pretty bad way. They have faced abuse and threats daily from far-right activists, who have come here specifically to do that. I understand they are outside now. The seven are on hunger strike because...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Care Law Reporting Project (24 Oct 2024)
Paul Murphy: We still do not have an adequate explanation. Again, this is not a surprise. The period of funding was going to run out and there was going to be a new tender process and yet there is still a gap. There are two possible explanations. One is the political motivation of leaning on the project. The Minister says that is not the case. The other explanation is no more satisfactory. It is...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógáil) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Child and Family Agency (24 Oct 2024)
Paul Murphy: Has Tusla stopped using the services of Supervised Access Ireland? I spoke about this in the Dáil last week when we were making statements on child protection. There are a number of serious issues with Supervised Access Ireland, including the treatment of workers and the overcharging of parents using its services. It seems that Supervised Access Ireland received a fair bit of money in...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógáil) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Child and Family Agency (24 Oct 2024)
Paul Murphy: I have two follow-up questions. Does the Minister know whether any other State body continues to have contracts with this company? I do not have the information in front of me but, as far as I know, even after Tusla had stopped using this service, with the exception of the unit that continued to do so, another arm of the State was continuing to use the company's services. On the broader...
