Ceisteanna - Questions: Good Friday Agreement (18 May 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: People Before Profit will be facilitating a vote on the national maternity hospital tonight.

It also shows scant regard for the need to...

Subsidies for Developers: Motion [Private Members] (18 May 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank Deputy O'Callaghan for putting forward the motion. One cannot be too strong in condemning what is an absolutely insane scheme from this Government. It is a demonstration that Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and sadly, the Green Party, have reverted to type.
