- Mental Health Services: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (2 Jul 2014)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I commend Sinn Féin on raising this issue. In two minutes, one can say very little but I want to make a general point and a specific point. The mental health crisis is serious and getting worse. As well as dealing with such matters as treatment and facilities, one also must ask the question, "Why?" There is a clear documented relationship between the rise in unemployment and the...
- European Council: Statements (2 Jul 2014)
Richard Boyd Barrett: On Ukraine, if I can put the question clearly and in context for the Minister of State because Deputy Martin's mischaracterisation of our position is not helpful in clarifying the views on this. It is extraordinary that when Deputy Clare Daly clearly indicated her outright opposition to Russian activities in Crimea and Ukraine, as I have done, Deputy Martin mischaracterises our position as...

- Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (2 Jul 2014)
Richard Boyd Barrett: The tragic killing of three Israeli teenagers in the settlement areas on the West Bank and the subsequent brutal response of the Israeli state and the killing of six Palestinians since the abduction has brought into sharp focus the issue of Israel's illegal settlements. Why are we allowing Israel to draw on the Horizon 2020 €70 billion research and innovation fund when it has stated...
- Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (2 Jul 2014)
Richard Boyd Barrett: This really gets to the heart of the double standards that occur. Russia is accused by Europe of unacceptable behaviour and incursions into Crimea in Ukraine. Immediately, sanctions are put in place and action is taken because Europe maintains that Russia's behaviour is unacceptable. Israel does it on an ongoing basis and is engaged in what everybody acknowledges is an illegal occupation...
- Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (2 Jul 2014)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Israel cannot be believed. That is the point. I do not understand how the Minister believes Israel when it states that it disregards the guidelines in the agreement. In the Dáil the other day, we listened to an Israeli soldier who is a member of Breaking the Silence. This is a large organisation of Israeli soldiers that has produced a book entitled Our Harsh Logic. The Tánaiste...
