Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (30 Mar 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I learned a couple of things when I was in Palestine when I was about 18. First, I learned that Israel is an apartheid state and that we need to do something about it. While I was there, I was working in the desert growing tomatoes, melons and all sorts of other crops. An interesting point that has always stuck with me is that each morning when the farmers were producing the tomatoes for...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (30 Mar 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The DAA, in order to deal with the deficit of private security which meant massively long queues in the airport over the weekend and likely to continue, is offering jobs where applicants have to be available for 40 hours per week but are only guaranteed 20 hours, coming out with €283. That is an absolute insult. It follows hot on the heel of meetings I have had with private security...

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Government's representation of its position on neutrality and this Bill, as well as Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael's representation of their position on neutrality, is dishonest and misleading from beginning to end. The position on this Bill is dishonest. This Bill is to create a conversation and debate for the entire country about the position on neutrality. We need to do that when...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Official Apology (29 Mar 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Does the Taoiseach think, as I do, that it is time the State issues an apology to all those who are homeless in this country and for whom the State has failed in its duty and obligation to provide the most basic thing, which is affordable, secure housing?

Richard Boyd Barrett: As the Taoiseach knows, one of the biggest issues in areas of significant deprivation is the impact of drug addiction on individuals, families and communities.

I...

From my clinic, I can tell him about the number of people and families coming in, most of whom are working and who are facing eviction or who are already homeless. They have no prospect of finding rented accommodation under the housing assistance payment, HAP, scheme or social housing....
