- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: What Deputy Ó Broin is saying suggests the officials are having as much difficulty dealing with the timeframe allocated to the Bill as we are. Otherwise they would have come here with advice that the amendment is okay and it can be let through. Why this is not the case is crazy. What the Minister of State is saying is that the Government has not really had enough time to consider it....

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I get Deputy O'Callaghan's issue. The Government's amendment further elaborates what the maritime area is to try to clearly define it.

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: For a considerable time People Before Profit has argued we need a State construction company in order to address the absolutely dire housing and homelessness crisis and to deliver the housing we need, and especially the social and affordable housing we need. The evidence for that is manifold. The Government has not met its own social housing targets, nor its affordable housing targets....

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: People Before Profit argued that the entire development should be social and affordable. We eventually won out against the resistance of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, but it has taken 17 years to finally deliver - they have still not been delivered - the social and affordable housing on that site. What we are saying is that we should supplement the lack of capacity in the private sector,...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2024)
