An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Feb 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I note the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage is sitting beside the Taoiseach. The Killian Woods report from last weekend on the shared equity affordable housing scheme would seem to suggest that the Government's affordable housing plan is looking increasingly like it is going to be completely defunct.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Social Partnership Meetings (15 Feb 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: At a time when workers are rightly calling for pay increases to deal with the issue of inflation, I want to draw the Taoiseach's attention to the fact that Aer Lingus, a company that got a hell of a lot of public money during Covid-19, is forcing its ground operation workers to vote on a pay freeze until 2025 and, in some cases, take a 10% permanent pay cut on their restored duty allowances....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (15 Feb 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: On economic recovery, the Taoiseach is often fond of saying, rightly, that we should support people who are working.

Richard Boyd Barrett: The utterly hopeless and disastrous situation in which many working people find themselves when it comes to trying to do the basic thing of putting a roof over their heads was summed up this week for me by a young man who came into my clinic. He works in retail and he is a low-paid worker. He works in retail and he worked all during the pandemic. His partner is also in low-pay, part-time...
