Questions on Promised Legislation (29 Nov 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Yesterday, following the resignation of the Tánaiste, the Taoiseach referred to the Department of Justice and Equality as dysfunctional. We are all aware of the issues to be examined by the disclosures tribunal, which we will discuss this evening. The Taoiseach promised an external review of all the matters that have arisen in recent weeks. Given those very strong statements, will he...

Questions on Promised Legislation (29 Nov 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The O'Sullivan report suggested there will be no accountability from those in top Garda management and no disciplinary action imposed on them. These are the people who were condemned in the report for the incredible level of malpractice within the force. The public does not accept a level of dysfunctionality that results in 2 million false breath tests and 15,000 wrongful convictions. We...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Departmental Policy Functions (29 Nov 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Taoiseach may have received an email from Peter McVerry today pointing out that seven individuals have died sleeping rough in the past 12 weeks, which is both unprecedented and shameful. There is the shocking fact that 3,000 children are in emergency accommodation. Peter McVerry is asking for very specific things to respond to this.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): EU Meetings (29 Nov 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: If I was going to a summit on social issues in Europe I would certainly make the point, and I hope the Taoiseach did this, that the biggest social crisis facing this country is housing and homelessness and that it is at appalling emergency levels. A little known fact, but one noted by Mercy Law Resource Centre among others, is that, incredibly, Ireland opted out of the right to housing...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Climate Change Policy (29 Nov 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Our shocking failure to reduce CO2 emissions has been further exposed by the EPA's report.

Disclosures Tribunal: Motion [Private Members] (29 Nov 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: There was much lamenting of the fate of the Tánaiste yesterday on the Government side of the House. Do not get me wrong - I have no axe to grind with her personally, but the person who has most to lament in this sorry saga is Sergeant Maurice McCabe who first had the bravery to make a complaint in 2006 about malpractice in An Garda Síochána. It is now 2017 and we still have...

Disclosures Tribunal: Motion [Private Members] (29 Nov 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Cui bono, who benefits from the suppression of that information? The suppression of the information would not have come out but for the fact that Katie Hannon exposed it. We would not know and Mr. Justice Charleton would not have received it. That begs the question: even if we get commitments now that all the relevant documents are handed over, how do we know, despite all the hubbub, that...

Disclosures Tribunal: Motion [Private Members] (29 Nov 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I said she seems to be a decent individual. What I cannot judge or what I find difficult to explain, and I do not know why the Minister is shaking his head, is how all this information could be in her Department and we are told it was not discussed. We are told that people forgot about it. It was so unimportant or registered so little at the time that people just forgot about it. It was...
