- Taxi Industry: Motion [Private Members] (16 Sep 2020)
Mick Barry: Was yesterday's taxi protest the largest in the history of the State? If it was not, it was certainly the largest taxi protest seen in this country this century. Why would it not be? Nearly one taxi driver in four is disqualified from the Covid payment on the grounds of age. The Government has refused to put together a proper package to assist drivers to go back to work. How many...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (15 Sep 2020)
Mick Barry: Many Aer Lingus workers have been reduced from 50% to 30% of their wages and are unable to claim social welfare payments. People with families and mortgages have been left to survive on between €100 and €200 a week. Can the Taoiseach imagine the resulting stress and the toll on people's mental health? Uproar followed and the Government has now assured workers that payments...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (15 Sep 2020)
Mick Barry: It is a matter of concern to me that anti-face mask protests have been organised across the country in recent weeks. I believe that those who are anti-masks and organising these marches are anti-workers because wearing a mask protects the worker behind the counter in the shop, the driver on the bus and so on. These marches, in most cases, have been organised by the far right. They have...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (15 Sep 2020)
Mick Barry: Can the Taoiseach report on any initiatives from the Cabinet sub-committee in terms of promoting face masks? I believe there needs to be a mass campaign of worker activists on the left to challenge this development.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Sep 2020)
Mick Barry: The Irish Congress of Trade Unions, ICTU, and the Mandate trade union have sent proposals to the Government for a State-run scheme to fund enhanced redundancies in the event of liquidation and to be paid for by increased employer social insurance contributions. It has been suggested that were such a scheme to be agreed in principle an advance payment might be made to resolve the Debenhams...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Garda Reform (10 Sep 2020)
Mick Barry: 2. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will reverse the decision to transfer the powers to hire and promote gardaí from the Policing Authority to the Garda Commissioner in view of the recommendation from the Smithwick tribunal to remove this power from the Commissioner given its potential to discourage whistleblowing; and if she will make a statement on...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Sep 2020)
Mick Barry: I said that the Taoiseach and his Government had sight of that offer before it was put on the table and the Taoiseach did not deny that was the case.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Sep 2020)
Mick Barry: His backbenchers were going around the picket lines for days previously giving the workers the broad outline of the offer. I ask the Taoiseach not to take people for fools. He was part and parcel of an insulting offer that was made to these workers. The workers the Taoiseach met in Government Buildings and whom he has just spoken about organised a rally outside the shop today at which...
