Paul Murphy

There should be no boot licking of Trump, which I suspect the Government is going to be engaged in and what there should be is a massive show of opposition to Trump on the streets.

There should be no red carpet for US President Donald Trump during his visit to Ireland later this month.

The needs of society, and of artists, should come before the needs of big tech.

They are not appropriate or safe for children and the government should move swiftly to outlaw marketing and sales of e-scooters to under 16s.

Seventeen-year-olds are legally able to drive a car, and yet the Government is now saying that they will not be able to ride an e-scooter.

I hope that some backbenchers defy the whip and vote in line with 77% of the public who want to see hare coursing banned.

It's very disappointing that the Government is not going to permit a free vote on stopping the cruelty of hare coursing.

We should not as a society, in 2026, be treating beautiful Irish hares in this way for our entertainment.

At the very least people should get a vote. Put it to the people.

In a worst-case scenario, the whole thing might need to be demolished and rebuilt again.

They have been the only ones to suffer any real consequences up to this point.
