- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Sep 2020)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Protecting public health is a priority but we have to face the fact there is a shocking contradiction. I raised this at the Covid committee so I am not grandstanding. We are spending approximately 50 times more on ensuring adherence to public health guidelines per Deputy than we are spending per pupil in school. That is shocking.

The Government, having knocked the...
