Mick Barry: If the Minister wanted to measure the scale of his failure, he could do a lot worse than to look at the workload now placed on the shoulders of the volunteers at Penny Dinners in Cork city. Penny Diners has been feeding the poor and the homeless in Cork city since at least the 1880s - some say since the Famine times. This Christmas, these volunteers have to organise 2,000 food hampers....

- Planning and Development (Amendment) (First-Time Buyers) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Nov 2019)
Mick Barry: Is Fianna Fáil committing itself, unequivocally, to 54 social houses at the site in Montenotte or, after all the fine talk, is the party following the lead of its by-election candidate and pulling its punches on this issue?

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Nov 2019)
Mick Barry: The Government banned onshore fracking under pressure from not only Deputies in this House but the wider movement in society.

- Mental Health: Statements (Resumed) (21 Nov 2019)
