- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: HSE (30 Nov 2016)
Mick Barry: I have two questions. Our data show that we are doing more emergency and fewer elective procedures each year. If these trends continue all work will be emergency work and we will be unable to accommodate elective work. When do we reach that point? Will Mr. O'Brien indicate whether it will be next year or in five to ten years' time? I am concerned about the amount of money available...

- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: HSE (30 Nov 2016)
Mick Barry: Mr. O'Brien also cited specific examples of ambulances, X-ray machines and MRI equipment and indicated that the HSE had significantly less than the two thirds of the budget that he believed it needed just to maintain those, not improve them. Does that mean that the HSE will spend all of the money in the first two to three years, when everything is grand, only to fall off a cliff unless there...

- Flood Insurance Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Nov 2016)
Mick Barry: I did not think I would be speaking for another ten minutes, but it seems that we do not have a Labour Party speaker for this debate. The Anti-Austerity Alliance–People Before Profit group will support this Bill. While we believe it has some weaknesses, we think it has significant merit and we will be casting our votes in support of it. I salute the campaigners in the Gallery who...

- Order of Business (29 Nov 2016)
Mick Barry: It relates to the Order of Business for the week, so the Leas-Cheann Comhairle can take it now or later. I do not mind.

- Establishment of Committee on Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Motion (24 Nov 2016)
Mick Barry: To be clear about what has been going on in the Chamber this morning, we have a name for the chairmanship of the committee, which has been brokered by a Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael backroom deal. The fact that it would be a Senator chosen by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael queers the pitch with regard to the make-up of the representation by Senators on the committee, reducing it in effect...
- Business of Dáil (24 Nov 2016)
Mick Barry: At what time yesterday?
- Business of Dáil (24 Nov 2016)
Mick Barry: I reinforce the point. Let us be quite clear about what is going on here. This is an attempt on the part of the Government with the support of Fianna Fáil to pull a really sly one on the issue of the establishment of the joint committee on the future funding of domestic water services. Let us spell out what is happening here. The motion that is being put states that "the Chairman of...
