- Report of the Joint Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Motion (12 Apr 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Those in Fianna Fáil have exposed their true colours. They are for water charges. They sign up with the troika for water charges. They commission reports from PwC detailing the plan for water charges. Then, a mass movement is mobilised on the streets against the charges. Then, they are against water charges.

This has still not happened although most other harbour...
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I am afraid the Taoiseach is in denial. This is not about the collapse in 2008; it is about a policy decision the Taoiseach's Government made in 2011 at which time he said the new policy represents a fundamental reconfiguration of the landscape of housing support in Ireland.
