- Financial Resolutions - Financial Resolution No. 1: Tobacco Products Tax (8 Oct 2019)
Mick Barry: I will speak about Financial Resolution No. 2. The Minister said, in his budget speech, that this measure had cross-party support. That is not the case.
- Financial Resolutions - Financial Resolution No. 1: Tobacco Products Tax (8 Oct 2019)
Mick Barry: We will be asking for a vote on this resolution and I suspect that at least 25% of the Dáil will be in opposition to it. More importantly, I think that many ordinary people will oppose this. They see it as the first tax in a whole series over the next ten years which will put the burden for the climate emergency on their shoulders rather than on the shoulders of the big corporations...

Mick Barry: -----on the official housing lists for seven consecutive months. It is clear that for the Independent Alliance, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil there is now an acceptable level of mass homelessness because no measures in this budget will put a serious dent in that figure. An additional €20 million has been allocated for homelessness services. That might be an admission on the part of...
- Financial Resolutions - Budget Statement 2020 (8 Oct 2019)
Mick Barry: One thing that will increase for certain are the payments to the private sector landlords. There has been an increase of €18 million in HAP and an extra 15,750 new tenancies. More money will be shovelled towards private landlords for the privatisation of social housing as opposed to building local authority housing. Ireland also continues to have the highest childcare costs in...

Mick Barry: The Budget Statement mentions the Brexit emergency and the climate emergency but what about the housing emergency? We are experiencing the biggest housing crisis in the history of the State, yet in the budget we have effectively been told that housing must wait. Skyrocketing rents are causing distress in the daily lives of so many people. There were two sentences in the Budget Statement...

There was a day when he would have spoken strong and hard against it before he turned his back on pensioners and others and started voting for such measures in return for a seat in the Government.
