1638879609352536066 | PhD researchers are protesting because stipends are set at the poverty line. Not even minimum wage. €18,500 a year. "EU-Average PhD researcher pay is €32,100, and in Nordic countries pay starts at €50,000 and progresses to €55,000 on a fixed four-year contract" @paulmurphy_TD https://t.co/TtJ8vIJF5Y | 46 |
1637362372347064320 | A both sides article that disappointingly forgets to point out to @paulmurphy_TD that boys and girls can wear dresses, climb trees or play with tractors. We don't have to change their pronouns to offer this freedom. 1/4 https://t.co/1TqSVLagFP | 27 |
1637367534700593152 | Another brilliant piece by @OHanlonEilis who points out that @paulmurphy_TD didn't need to call his baby they or it in order to raise a child free from gendered expectations: "The idea that differences between boys and girls and men and women can be.. 1/3 https://t.co/v9hawhTSlD | 21 |
1637382982762655745 | My word but @paulmurphy_TD really has rattled the usual old transphobes this week, hasn't he? Hardly a cliché left unused as they sagely expound on other people's parenting. But Peadar Tóibín, who believes raped pregnant children should be forced to give birth, takes the biscuit! | 15 |
1639265838422188034 | I’m not a fan of much Mr. Fox’s commentary but @paulmurphy_TD I’m lost as to how you think his son owned him. Assuming 99.9% of Fathers are loving parents and not child abusers, teaching a young child they must consent to their own Mother or Father hugging them is loathsome. https://t.co/DW3FVv48tD | 12 |
1637830557655506944 | Are you all ok with this eroding of our neutrality, misuse of gardai & utter hypocrisy in terms of the ICC & US war crimes/criminals @MaryLouMcDonald @HollyCairnsTD @ivanabacik @RBoydBarrett @paulmurphy_TD @ThomasPringleTD @catherinegalway https://t.co/PzIRgdhIj1 | 11 |
1638907882694406145 | .@SimonHarrisTD @LeoVaradkar @MaryLouMcDonald @ivanabacik @MichealMartinTD @EamonRyan @paulmurphy_TD think women should share our spaces with men like this. Women will hold each and every of you accountable come voting time. https://t.co/4ALLdt2MKZ | 10 |
1637574085164122114 | @paulmurphy_TD So teach your boy he doesn’t have to adhere to those standards. Don’t teach him he isn’t a boy. You’ve got the whole thing totally upside down. | 6 |
1637424703319994369 | @paulmurphy_TD Stop conflating sex which is biological fact with gender which is a social construct. | 6 |
1637424480480796673 | @paulmurphy_TD Paul Murphy and his colleagues are the reason this violent man is housed in Limerick women’s prison. Men and women were kept in separate prisons until Murphy and his ilk started the gender bender nonsense. https://t.co/eJ8M1GxNp8 | 5 |

1636679134461022208 | @erinbiba @paulmurphy_TD I suspect the main reason she’s not really working anymore is that she doesn’t have the energy or stamina to keep up with a filming schedule. | 240 |

1637487211355537414 | @paulmurphy_TD @paulmurphy_TD Paul, gender issue aside - Kids can be cruel. You do realise you’re potentially setting your little boy up for years of bullying and abuse by naming him ‘Juniper’? Must virtue signalling trump the love & protection of your own precious child? | 157 |

1639224113339219968 | @paulmurphy_TD Paul Murphy the neck of u ya can't even identify your own child u your a danger to your child you want primary school kids learning about sex education makes you a potential child groomer you support rodric o gorman who is a friend of Peter tatchells you all belong in jail | 99 |
1639597666827993090 | @AidanCTweets Thank you for this thread. Would love to see this be brought up in Leader's questions. Will our government even speak out against her planned trip to spread her hate speech and incitement of violence against the LGBTQIA+ community? @paulmurphy_TD @SocDems @sinnfeinireland | 97 |
1637431519311437826 | @paulmurphy_TD You can try and dress it up anyway you like @paulmurphy_TD but fact is you’re using your newborn as a social experiment. Utterly loathsome and your son should be given the respect he is rightly owed. | 87 |
