Expenditure Response to Covid-19 Crisis: Statements (Resumed) (17 Sep 2020)

Richard Boyd Barrett: As our representative on the Business Committee, I asked for this debate a number of weeks ago.

It is...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I am sharing time with Deputy Barry, unless Deputy Paul Murphy comes to the Chamber, in which case we will change it slightly.

That is what the changes to the speaking...

Workers' Rights: Motion [Private Members] (16 Sep 2020)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I will not rehearse the despicable treatment of more than 1,000 Debenhams workers by Debenhams. It has been well rehearsed in the House. I thank the Independent Group for tabling this motion. We also put forward a motion before the summer recess. All agree that what Debenhams has done to its workers is absolutely shocking, but what we must discuss is the unwillingness of the Government to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Bodies (16 Sep 2020)

Richard Boyd Barrett: People Before Profit is an all-Ireland party. We believe we must move to a united Ireland and end partition.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Sep 2020)

It is not clear to me, and I have had quite a few calls about this, what those parents should do. They do not know what to do or whether there is a danger in them sending their children...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Sep 2020)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Apologies if I missed it but which Cabinet committee or group, if any, is dealing with arts and culture?

Richard Boyd Barrett: I am taking seven minutes and my colleague is taking three. The Government has ignored all of these issues and the sword of Damocles now hangs over taxi drivers because of the plan to cut the pandemic unemployment payment tomorrow. That will also affect other workers. I have just come from a demonstration of events workers. Some 22,000 taxi drivers and their families and 35,000 events...
