- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Appointments to State Boards (26 Mar 2013)
Richard Boyd Barrett: He sets an example. I was just giving it as an example of the process through which selections for State boards occur and saying that it is the case that it is does not match up to the promises of a democratic revolution. I do not want to cast any aspersions on the people the Taoiseach himself appointed. I am sure all the people the Taoiseach mentioned are very capable. It is interesting,...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Appointments to State Boards (26 Mar 2013)
Richard Boyd Barrett: They are important sectors and that is civil society. While I accept that it is right and proper that they should be represented, where is the opening up of appointments to those who are not within those loops? I am talking about ordinary people who are a bit further down society's hierarchy and who might have a real interest in and knowledge of these areas. They may work on the shop floor...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): IFSC Clearing House Group (26 Mar 2013)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Does the Taoiseach agree that the level of influence and privileged access given to the Clearing House Group is completely disproportionate to that given to other sectors? I ask that question with particular reference to what has happened in Cyprus. The people of Cyprus have learned to their cost what can happen as a result of over-reliance on a financial services sector that is involved in...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): IFSC Clearing House Group (26 Mar 2013)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Is it not a dangerous strategy for this country to give privileged access to a group that has clearly had a major influence on policy, for example in the case of the proposed financial transactions tax? A new tax exemption in the area of derivatives and securitisation was introduced in the recent Finance Bill. Some 21 amendments were made to last year's Finance Bill. This group gets more...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): IFSC Clearing House Group (26 Mar 2013)
