Mick Barry: Has the Ceann Comhairle ever noticed how happy this Minister is when he takes the Leaders questions?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Jun 2023)

Mick Barry: One would almost think that the Minister was at an audition or something. He might not be the happiest man in the House though as earlier on I could have sworn I saw the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science skating down the corridor with a copy of The Irish Timestucked under his arm whistling a tune and polishing a piece of cutlery, and I do not think...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Jun 2023)

Mick Barry: It is stacked pretty high. We would welcome genuine independent verification of that speakers' list. I believe it will show that the figures we have put forward are pretty damned accurate. Certainly, it will show that this is far from an even debate. As I say, it is arranged in such a way that the debate is about how fast and what exact alliances we should consider rather than whether we...

LGBTQI+ Equality: Statements (20 Jun 2023)

Mick Barry: Three corporate sponsors have withdrawn funding from Cork Pride this year and there are fears that others may follow suit. Up to €140,000 in funding could be lost. A successful Pride is important in any year but it is more important than ever this year given the increase in physical attacks on LGBTQI+ people and the campaign to ban LGBTQI+ books in our libraries. The stated reason...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Jun 2023)

Mick Barry: I voice my strong support for workers in the Iceland supermarket at Coolock, Dublin, who are sitting in this lunchtime to defend jobs. I also voice my strong support for all Iceland workers, many of whom found themselves locked out this morning following four months of total and disgraceful mismanagement by the new owners, who are arguably the biggest cowboys since the days of John Wayne and...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Official Engagements (21 Jun 2023)

Mick Barry: The European political community strongly supports the increased militarisation of the Continent. Last year, global arms expenditure hit its highest-ever level. It would seem the Government is encouraging Irish companies to jump aboard this arms expenditure trade. The former Minister for Defence, Deputy Coveney, said last year that: "even though the perception is that Ireland does not have...

Youth Justice Strategy: Statements (21 Jun 2023)

Mick Barry: I note the fact that it has taken two and a half years for the investigation into the killing of George Nkencho to get to the point where a file has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP. I am pleased that a file has been sent to the DPP. Mr. Nkencho's family feel a sense of relief about the fact that has happened. However, I will register the point that two and a half...
