- Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2024: Motion (22 Oct 2024)
Mick Barry: What exactly are the priorities of the Government? What is important to it and what is not? There are people out on the streets forced to go rattling tins to raise money for domestic violence centres and the Government decides to give almost €20 million to the greyhound industry. Does the Minister of State not know this is a cruel industry? Deputy Murphy said one quarter, and my...
- Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2024: Motion (22 Oct 2024)
Mick Barry: This industry would not survive if it was not for State money propping it up. The stadiums are 90% empty. This is in the wake of all of the animal cruelty scandals.

It is outrageous that the Government...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Action Plan (23 Oct 2024)
Mick Barry: What is the balance sheet of the Government, which includes the Green Party, on environmental issues? The Taoiseach will, no doubt, tell me greenhouse gas emissions fell in most sectors last year, but the Climate Change Advisory Council says the fall is not nearly big enough to meet our modest climate obligations. The target for reduced emissions for 2030 is 51%. What is the Government...
