Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (5 Mar 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: By far the most dangerous potential outcome of a no-deal Brexit is the reinstallation of a border between the North and South of this country. Amendments that my colleagues and I put forward to the omnibus Bill have been ruled out of order and the Government does not deal with the possibility of such a border in that Bill. The Taoiseach says publicly that the Government has done nothing to...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: In the programme for Government the Taoiseach said that the provision of affordable housing to those who need it would be a "priority" and that the Government should be tested on its ability to deliver on that promise. Can I suggest that promise is a hoax given the revelation today that, without telling anybody, instructions were given not to give out what is already a very limited scheme...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Standing Order which was used to rule out a number of the proposed amendments states that the basis on which they can be ruled out of order is that they are in conflict with the principle of the Bill. How could an amendment we proposed, about ruling out under any circumstances physical infrastructure between North and South in the form of a border, not be in line with the objectives of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Property Tax Review (28 Feb 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: As the Minister knows, People Before Profit opposes property tax, full stop. We believe the Minister would raise more money and it would be fairer to introduce a wealth tax and would help to get a budget surplus. However, given that property tax exists, he had promised a review at the beginning of last year and said people were deserving of certainty as to the future plans for property tax....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Property Tax Review (28 Feb 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I want to make a few points. First, I believe the Minister owes it to transparent and accountable Government to tell people what will happen with property tax before the local elections. It would be a bit of a scam to wait until after the local elections and then see massive hikes based on the November revaluation date, which is promised. Second, I would point out to the Minister that...
