KPMG, a...

Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (1 Apr 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I point out that the reason we have to change the order today is due to events last night when speakers did not show up and the debate on the Public Service Pay Bill fell, even though many of the groupings in the House did not get to speak once on that very important legislation.

Richard Boyd Barrett: First, there were nine ten-minute slots between the slot of the final Deputy to speak last night and our slot. There was, therefore, no reasonable expectation that we would speak before today but for the fact that multiple speakers in the intervening slots, including Government speakers, were not here.

Prime Time Investigates Programme on Department of Health: Statements (1 Apr 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: It is sinister to keep files on vulnerable children and their families while the State tools itself up to protect against legal action by the families who are simply trying to assert their legal right and entitlement to equality.
