EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: By agreeing in principle to the Mercosur deal, the Government and the EU have stabbed the farmers of this country in the back.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Housing and Retrofitting: Discussion (10 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I only have a short time, so I will fly through my questions.

Public Service Pay Commission Report on the Permanent Defence Force: Statements (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: It is deeply ironic but maybe typical of Fine Gael that this report has been published at a time when it pushes ever harder to abandon Ireland's traditional military neutrality and deploy Irish troops in extremely dangerous missions, such as that in Mali, or push us into greater involvement with the emerging European army and its relationship with NATO.
