- National Minimum Wage: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2022)
Mick Barry: The slogan of the campaign for a minimum wage in the United States was "$15 now because the rent won't wait". That is a slogan that will have a lot of echoes among a lot of young and not so young low-paid workers in this country this morning, given the shocking figures we have seen fromdaft.ie, which do not shock because we are all so used to it now. The Minister of State mentioned six...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Citizens' Assembly (8 Feb 2022)
Mick Barry: Will the Taoiseach admit that the idea of raising the pension age to 67 and then 68 is now dead in the water? The most recent general election showed that there is as much potential support for this measure as a race for a return of water charges. The Oireachtas committee was only recognising the reality that, politically, this is now a complete non-runner. Increasing life expectancy...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (8 Feb 2022)
Mick Barry: I see the Taoiseach was out peddling the old Thatcherite myths earlier on about wage increases causing inflation. He was at it again. At a time when inflation stood at 5.5%, the Government increased the minimum wage by 2.9%. It is a statement of fact that the Taoiseach's Government and the Taoiseach have introduced a de factopay cut for the lowest paid workers in this State. At a time...
