- Ceisteanna - Questions: Legislative Programme (8 Sep 2020)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I raised the problem I have with Questions on Promised Legislation being taken off the Dáil schedule on the Order of Business. While the Government might not have a legislative programme, there is a programme for Government, which contains commitments regarding various legislation, some of which has been rightly described by Deputy McDonald as "off the wall".

- 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.
