Richard Boyd Barrett: Tairgim: "Go léifear an Bille don Dara hUair anois." I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."

Many people believe Ireland's neutrality is protected in the Constitution because there is a long understanding and overwhelming support for the...

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? The homeless figures are accelerating disastrously once again. Despite all the talk about Housing for All and all the policy measures the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Urban Development (29 Mar 2022)

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....

Richard Boyd Barrett: No answer, in other words.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Mar 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I expect sanctions to be imposed on Saudi Arabia and the apartheid State of Israel promptly following that announcement. I will not hold my breath on that, obviously. I again ask about the €1,000 that was promised to healthcare workers. The applause given to those healthcare workers for the work they did during the Covid pandemic - and are still doing - rings hollow now when the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Mar 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I ask once again for the Government to allow time for a debate on the disastrous situation and war in Yemen.
