- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (22 Jun 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I know that we had a break and the nomination of the Taoiseach and so on, but even at this late stage it might be useful, if there is agreement, to have a minute's silence before the Order of Business in memory of the Grenfell Tower residents.

Richard Boyd Barrett: I am going to speak now. It is not possible to put into words the sheer horror of the inferno that engulfed the lives of maybe as many as 80 innocent people in the Grenfell Tower in London. It is emerging now that not only were people burned alive in that inferno but many of them were poisoned by cyanide released from the combustible material that was used to clad that building. What is...

- Building Standards, Regulations and Homeowner Protection: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: The horror in Grenfell was murder by negligence. In November, the residents in the Grenfell Action Group wrote, "It is a truly terrifying thought, but the Grenfell Action Group firmly believe that only a catastrophic event will expose the ineptitude and incompetence of our landlord". That was prophetic. For two years they had been warning about fire safety and other issues. Critically, as...
- Pre-European Council: Statements (21 Jun 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I note that the Taoiseach spoke about the European Union standing firm against hatred and violent extremism and mentioned that he would fight the spread of radicalism. That is very much in tune with some of the very interesting rhetoric coming from him and the Minister, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, in particular. There appears to be a move from the pragmatic approach which veiled any obvious...

We are...

Following my earlier question, given the potentially shocking consequences for fire safety in our housing stock, which...
