Financial Resolution 2021 - Financial Resolution: Stamp Duties (19 May 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I would like it noted that People Before Profit proposed three amendments to the Government's motion, all of which have been ruled out of order. For the record, I should say what they were. First, we proposed that the stamp duty should be 90%, not 10% as the Government is proposing or 15% or 17% as the other Opposition parties are proposing. We do not just need to disincentivise funds or...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 May 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I think the private sector should look after itself. The Taoiseach is absolutely right: the State is the main mover in the housing market. While it is spending €3 billion, the problem is it is spending it on lining the pockets of the vulture funds, the cuckoos and the speculators. The vast majority of the money the State is putting in, which the Taoiseach just described, is going on...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 May 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Government's announced proposals to deal with the activities of the vulture and cuckoo funds are hopelessly inadequate, completely pathetic and not a serious attempt to deal with these cuckoo funds at all. In reality, the Government is beholden to these funds and deeply implicated in having brought them into the housing market. The 10% stamp duty will not act as a disincentive. These...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (18 May 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I will be sharing my time. I will take seven minutes and Deputy Barry will take three. I thank Deputy Ó Broin for using his party's Private Members' time to bring up this important discussion on affordable housing. It is very difficult to know where to start with the Government's narrative. It comes in here and says that the Opposition just criticises for the sake of criticising and...
