Committee on Budgetary Oversight: ESRI Report on Ireland and Brexit: Discussion (10 Apr 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: How granular is the analysis of the various impacts, primarily negative, as the witnesses have described, but also the potential positives in terms of different sectors?

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (9 Apr 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I made most of the points I want to make about Brexit in the earlier engagement, but I will summarise briefly. It is very welcome and long overdue that Prime Minister Theresa May has moved away from trying to engage or have reason to prevail with the headbangers on the Tory right like Mr. Boris Johnson, MP; Mr. Jacob Rees-Mogg, MP, and the European Research Group, ERG. They are driven by...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (9 Apr 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Most people were relieved that Chancellor Merkel made references to the Berlin wall and the problem that the division of Germany and walls and borders made. She showed empathy with the cause of preventing a hard border on this island. On foot of the earlier question, there have been discussions about intensifying the detailed discussions on that outcome which we hope will not happen, can...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (9 Apr 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: It is clear since Theresa May abandoned her futile attempt to engage with headbangers like Boris Johnson, the European Research Group, ERG, Rees-Mogg and the Democratic Unionist Party, DUP, that there is now a little bit of hope that reason might prevail and we might avoid the crash-out because she is talking to a man much maligned in this House, Jeremy Corbyn, a socialist and left-winger,...
