Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Post-budget 2023 Examination: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I just make that as a suggestion, considering this is the budget scrutiny committee. It would be great if a more detailed breakdown of the programme of expenditure could be available on budget day. I understand it will be adjusted with the Revised Estimates but it would be useful if it could be included in the budget book.

Finance Bill 2022: Second Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: There is a lot of stuff to deal with in the Finance Bill. It is a big document. We will no doubt tease through a lot of it in more detail on Committee Stage. It is a telling fact that, faced with an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis and a shocking, disastrous, catastrophic – you just run out of adjectives to describe how bad the housing crisis is – housing crisis, the ESRI...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Offices (25 Oct 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: To return to what the Taoiseach said about Palestine and his uncritical commitment to the so-called two-state solution, the entire history of the State of Israel has been 70 years of relentless ethnic cleansing and displacement of Palestinian people. The two-state solution is a mirage and a ploy promoted by Israel and the United States, behind which they continue the relentless campaign of...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (25 Oct 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The well-being framework rightly points to access to housing as a key component of well-being. For the more than 100 residents of Tathony House, an apartment complex in Dublin 8 with 35 households of workers, families and many children, their well-being was seriously shattered by an eviction notice from their landlord threatening the mass eviction of the entire block. Shockingly, the person...

This is just a small part of a much more general escalation by Israel, with raids in Jenin and Nablus and blockades of whole communities. Many young people have been shot. There is also an ongoing attempt at ethnic cleansing in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem....

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Oct 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Government was under pressure and was belatedly forced to bring in a ban on evictions, and I am glad that was the case. As I pointed out in the past week, it now transpires from the legislation that any person whose termination date on a notice to quit came before the date of the emergency period commencing will not be protected from eviction. If you have already passed your termination...
