EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: By agreeing in principle to the Mercosur deal, the Government and the EU have stabbed the farmers of this country in the back.

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Climate Action Plan (10 Jul 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Is the Taoiseach not seriously guilty of climate hypocrisy? I cite for instance the trade deal that he is talking about tweaking and making economic assessments of.

If fossil fuels keep going into the...
