Brexit Contingency Action Plan: Statements (11 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Absolutely, and what happens in British politics will impact upon it very significantly. We should want a Corbyn government. It is the better option if we are to have any sort of sane resolution to this situation. However, if I do not trust Boris Johnson, the Tories, Jeremy Hunt, or the UKIPs of this world, neither do I trust the European Union to protect the best interests of working...

Brexit Contingency Action Plan: Statements (11 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The rottenness, the recklessness, the dishonesty and the overweening personal ambition of people like Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt are plain for all to see. They do not give a damn about people in Ireland or Britain. They just give a damn about themselves, their hunger for power and pathetic attempt to restore the notion of Great Britain and the Empire, the irony being that their stupidity...

EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: By agreeing in principle to the Mercosur deal, the Government and the EU have stabbed the farmers of this country in the back. They have betrayed the fight to deal with the climate emergency.

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Climate Action Plan (10 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Is the Taoiseach not seriously guilty of climate hypocrisy? I cite for instance the trade deal that he is talking about tweaking and making economic assessments of. Climate change is an international problem, although the Taoiseach often frames it in Irish terms saying, "if we do this or that". That is nonsense. Climate change does not know borders. If fossil fuels keep going into the...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (10 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I also express my continuing and ongoing dismay at the way in which the Taoiseach and the EPP continue to tolerate, collude with and co-operate with the vile regime of Viktor Orbán. There are farmers outside today protesting against an EU plan to do a deal with another vile regime, that of Bolsonaro and the Mercosur countries. With that in mind, I would like the Taoiseach to explain to...
