An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Mick Barry: Yesterday, while arguing that she should stay in the top job while the investigation goes on, the Garda Commissioner said we have to keep the lights on while we are rewiring the house.

This may well...

It underlines the strength of the socialist demand that there be a sharp break...

Order of Business (28 Mar 2017)

Mick Barry: The Taoiseach is treating the House in a similar fashion to the way he would have done in the previous Dáil when his Government had a thumping majority in the House. He is not treating the House the way it should be treated, given that his Government is in a minority position and the fact that to satisfy even the basic norms of accountability the Tánaiste should, at the very least,...

Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2017)

Mick Barry: The Tánaiste rejects my characterisation of a plan for a low pay agenda at a time when workers are facing cuts in take home pay of between €3,000 and €6,000 per annum. Her position is not credible. The Tánaiste referred to the PSO that is paid. The PSO is 20% down on what it was eight years ago. The Tánaiste's position is not credible. She spoke about...

Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2017)

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Mar 2017)

Mick Barry: I gather from media reports that the Taoiseach was put out that the positive media coverage he received internationally for the speech he gave last week in President Trump's presence was not replicated in Ireland. He had the benefit of Channel 4 and The New York Timesnot being too well acquainted with how his fine words in Washington square up to the reality in Ireland. Conversely, the...
