Order of Business (14 Feb 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Order of Business is completely unacceptable. While the issue of the smear campaign against Maurice McCabe can be dealt with by a public commission of investigation, that is not the only issue at stake here.

Other Questions: Film Industry (9 Feb 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank the Minister for her response. To take up the last point, will she give us a commitment that not only will she consult with the Cabinet but she will also consult the Dáil on any decision about the disposal of Ardmore? While I welcome the fact the Minister is talking about it as a going concern, and I obviously welcome the commitment of the county council to retain the zoning,...

Other Questions: Film Industry (9 Feb 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I do not doubt for one second that the Minister and just about everybody else who is concerned with this wants to retain the studio as a going concern, so I am not questioning that. What I am saying is that while the retention of the film-only zoning is very much to be welcomed, in itself it does not guarantee that somebody will come in and buy it, and keep it as an operating studio. I...

Other Questions: Film Industry (9 Feb 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Minister was talking about creating jobs in the previous question. This question is about keeping jobs. We discussed this last week, both the future for Ardmore Studies and the jobs, hundreds directly and thousands indirect, that are dependent on the studio.

Commission of Investigation relating to disclosures by members of An Garda Síochána: Statements (9 Feb 2017)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The points have been well made. I would like to add my voice to the suggestion that the information within the Minister's remit, the information that other Oireachtas Members may have and the contacts they may have had in regard to this matter should be part of the terms of reference of the commission of investigation.
