Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (24 Mar 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Presumably, if anybody in this House suggested that we should send a trade mission to Russia to develop our trade relationship, given what it is doing in Ukraine, they would get pretty short shrift from the Minister and from everybody else, rightly so. It would be similar if anybody suggested that it would be okay for any of our allies, so-called, to be selling weapons to Vladimir Putin in...

Regulation of Providers of Building Works Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (23 Mar 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I support this group of amendments. I am not on that committee so I was not part of that discussion, but fair points have been made. It really is quite extraordinary that the CIF would be the body to house the register of building providers. This is an attempt or effort at regulation of an industry that has failed so badly in many respects, including the health and safety of workers, bogus...

Richard Boyd Barrett: We believe the time is right and appropriate to have a referendum to let the people of this country make a decision, which is what this Bill is doing. We want to put our traditional military neutrality, which this and successive Governments have tried to undermine, into the Constitution so it is absolutely guaranteed and secured, and to stop the very concerted push by successive Governments...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: While the people of this country are showing extraordinary solidarity and generosity in terms of the terrible suffering of the Ukrainian people, they are simultaneously being crucified by the spiralling costs of living, electricity and gas prices, energy prices and so on. The latest bad news in that regard is the ESRI report that the rate of inflation will hit 8.7% this summer. People's...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The point I am making is that collectively, the Irish Government and the European and American Governments do have the power. It is a power that was used during the Second World War, whereby profiteering was stopped and the State took control of energy and other vital supplies in order to control prices. Under the current regime, even if we do develop more renewable energy it will not...
