- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (3 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: The issue of housing is not only responsible for untold hardship, anxiety and suffering for large numbers of people who are at the wrong end of the housing crisis, but it is also probably the greatest economic problem we now face, and increasingly so. We cannot recruit teachers because they cannot afford to live in places like Dublin. We cannot recruit enough health workers because they...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Since Israel's genocidal massacre commenced in Gaza, hundreds of millions of people across the world have taken to the streets in solidarity with Palestinians, including in the US, where Jewish people have said Israel's crimes are not committed in their name and that Biden's arming and supporting of Israel does not represent them. Considering the depressing spectacle of Trump versus Biden...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Israel would not be able to continue what the International Court of Justice has rightly recognised as a possible genocide, the worst possible crime anybody is capable of committing, without the favoured trade status, political support and arms it receives from the European Union.

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Child Poverty (2 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I have several cases like that as well. There are problems with the tenant in situ scheme and councils are looking for reasons not to go through it with families who are facing the prospect of homelessness. Something has to be done about it. I want to raise an issue quickly that is also shocking which relates to children with special needs. This story can probably be repeated many times....

One of the major contributors to the report was the NESC. It gave a presentation to the commission in March 2023, which referred to the need to engineer permanent affordability into housing policy. NESC referred to the housing policy as...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I raise an issue with the Taoiseach about which he has received correspondence from the alliance supporting nursing homes. It wrote to the Taoiseach on 21 June 2024 regarding the national vetting service which, I believe, crosses Departments. I imagine that as it is dealt with under the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012, it has implications across Government...
