Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Nov 2023)

Mick Barry: Has the Taoiseach read the report issued by Oxfam and others in the past days on the wealth divide in the context of carbon emissions?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Nov 2023)

Mick Barry: Some 19 femicides have taken place in this State since the murder of Ashling Murphy. I put it to the Taoiseach that if that number of people had been killed by a paramilitary organisation, the State would rightly be moving mountains to try and achieve change, but male violence against women seems to bring forth a less urgent response. GREVIO - I hope I pronounced it correctly - the Council...

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Mick Barry: I wish to start by making some comments about the so-called humanitarian pause. Before going into the Israeli cabinet meeting last night, Benjamin Netanyahu said: We are at war, and we will continue the war. We will continue until we achieve all our goals. It is clear that in the minds of Netanyahu and the Israeli cabinet, this is a short-term pause and when it is over, the killing...

Consultative Forum on International Security Policy Report: Statements (22 Nov 2023)

Mick Barry: For six consecutive weekends now, tens of thousands of people have marched in Irish cities in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in opposition to Israeli state terror. I can think of no other event in my lifetime as an activist that has made that happen - not the water charges, the Iraq war or the Gulf War. It is pretty much unique. The protests, and the sentiment among the broad...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (23 Nov 2023)

Mick Barry: When Irish Water was set up, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael promised the people that our water services would not be privatised.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Mick Barry: Last week, Ukrainian military officers were assessed by NATO assessors at Lynch Camp, Kilworth, County Cork. Many people will be amazed to hear that. No doubt, the Government will say it is within the law and falls under the Partnership for Peace arrangements. If it can happen when the current legal arrangements are in place, I can only imagine what might happen when the Government changes...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Mick Barry: The Fianna Fáil mayor of Cork county told a gathering in Fermoy this month that he would have no problem joining a blockade of asylum seekers due to be provided with accommodation in the town. He made the statement while standing alongside a far-right agitator with a long track record of anti-immigrant rhetoric and activity. The mayor has since made what I consider to be a...
