Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government Implementation (20 Nov 2018)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I wish to take the Taoiseach back to what was a fairly disappointing response to the Stardust families earlier and what I feel is a bit of a buck-passing exercise on his part when one considers the programme for Government and what it says about what the Government would do about the Stardust tragedy. It stated, "Full regard will be had to any new evidence which emerges which would be likely...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (20 Nov 2018)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Has the Taoiseach read the NESC report on land management produced in April 2018?

What the NESC report does is set out examples of what is done in places like the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Film Industry (15 Nov 2018)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I would be careful about the narrative that a minority of people in the industry are doing this, that or the other. There are accusations flying from all directions.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Film Industry (15 Nov 2018)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The "Prime Time" programme certainly outlined the disputes that exist. However, it was a bit of a travesty in terms of balance because it tried to imply that one group alone was responsible for problems in the industry and deliberately ignored evidence from other sources, for example, from workers in the industry and in particular from a number of organisations such as the GMB and...
