- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (8 Mar 2022)
Richard Boyd Barrett: As the Taoiseach knows, this is International Women's Day. In this country, church organisations have played a pretty terrible role, historically, in their treatment of women and their denial of rights to women.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (8 Mar 2022)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Today, the Taoiseach once again rightly, as we all do, condemned the crimes against humanity of Vladimir Putin in the invasion of Ukraine.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Civil Service (8 Mar 2022)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there were spiralling inflation and cost-of-living increases.

I ask the Taoiseach to confirm that and update the House on it. In that regard, when public servants,...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Mar 2022)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Before the war in Ukraine, we urged the Taoiseach to use the powers the State has under the consumer Act to control the spiralling prices of heating fuels and energy, which are impoverishing huge numbers of people and increasing fuel poverty.

Richard Boyd Barrett: This morning I received an email from a former member of the Defence Forces who described how at every single military checkpoint he or any Irish soldier was ever at, their safety and our credibility was protected by our neutrality. He went on to say that, lately, we have been picking our fights, and the more we do so, the more we lose our integrity. He asked me to urge this House to keep...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Mar 2022)
Richard Boyd Barrett: The world is rightly horrified at the unfolding disaster that is being unleashed on the people of Ukraine with Putin's bloody, inexcusable and murderous invasion of that country.
