Mortgage Interest Rates Cap Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Jun 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank those who contributed to the discussion. While the new deputy leader of Fianna Fáil was terribly polite in his response, the net interpretation of what he said is really that the Government is not going to do anything and will let the free market decide. Lola, who I mentioned earlier on, is paying €900 a month, or €10,000 or €11,000 a year, more than she...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (20 Jun 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: There is no doubt the British Government has a lot of questions to answer, and I think most people believe it does not want to answer them because of the extent of British state collusion with the people who carried out the Dublin and Monaghan bombings and, indeed, other massacres carried out by the Glenanne gang. The Irish Government, however, has very serious questions to answer as...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (19 Jun 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank IFAC for all its work and I thank the witnesses for the presentation. If I understand correctly what they are saying, their advice is that the Government should not generally go beyond the 5% rule - the rule that is not a rule- and if it does, it needs to pay for that with additional taxation.
