Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source

The Government is planning to further expand the gravy train of ministerial jobs and allowances and it is doing it with a guillotine to suppress proper debate and discussion of the expanded gravy train it is planning. This is completely unacceptable. There should not be a guillotine. Additionally, we have had very alarming pronouncements made by the Taoiseach that he is planning to, effectively, hand over the housing sector, lock, stock and barrel, to profit-driven investors.

I refer to private investors, vulture funds and corporate landlords - the very people who are responsible for the housing crisis that we have.
