Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Jul 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Today is the last day you can sign on for PUP. Despite the Government's promises that there would be no cliff for people on income supports such as the PUP, that cliff is now being created.

We have to learn the best lessons from one another and address the deficiencies in...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Bodies (6 Jul 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: On the earlier question relating to dialogue, it is a fact that the Taoiseach met taxi drivers and that the Minister is engaged with musicians and entertainment people.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Jul 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: This business of attacking the Opposition and accusing it of sloganeering really has to stop. I do not think the Taoiseach would accuse Dr. Mike Ryan of being a left-wing sloganeer, but he is supporting the people's vaccine.
