Richard Boyd Barrett: As I listened to the speakers from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael talk about why they will not support the adoption of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in the Constitution, for some reason the word "sophistry" sprang to mind. I looked up the definition of sophistry. It comes from the Greek sophist, and refers to the use of clever but false arguments...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Let me assure the Minister that de-staffing is taking place. Killiney has lost its staff. There is nobody there at night and it is seriously compromising access and safety. People in wheelchairs cannot get on the train if there is not somebody there to put a ramp out. They already have to give huge amounts of notice to get on the train. Pat in the Sandycove station told me this Saturday...
