- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Revaluation of Local Property Tax and Commercial Stamp Duty: Revenue Commissioners (12 Dec 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: It would be useful to get a breakdown of how much could be owed both in totality and aggregate and what the average figures in terms of liability might be.

- Other Questions: Middle East Peace Process (13 Dec 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Will the Minister please get real? Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was not a mistake; it was a calculated declaration of war against the Palestinian people, the Arab world and the Muslim population. If the Minister does not see that, then he is living in cloud cuckoo land. Netanyahu is celebrating. He claims that the European Union will eventually...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (13 Dec 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I asked my question earlier, but the Taoiseach ran out of time. In light of Amnesty International's damning report which explicitly states that European governments are colluding with slavery, torture, systematic abuse and physical and sexual violence against 20,000 Libyan immigrants, will the Taoiseach look into this matter? Does he think he might visit Libya and see the horrific detention...
