Mick Barry: Socialists stand in complete solidarity with those who are victims of hate crimes and hate speech. We salute campaigners in groups such as the Coalition Against Hate Crime Ireland for highlighting the impact of hate crime and hate speech and pushing for action to be taken. Hate crimes and hate speech have a real impact on people's lives and the lives of oppressed groups. Being the victim...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Action Plan (23 Oct 2024)

Mick Barry: What is the balance sheet of the Government, which includes the Green Party, on environmental issues? The Taoiseach will, no doubt, tell me greenhouse gas emissions fell in most sectors last year, but the Climate Change Advisory Council says the fall is not nearly big enough to meet our modest climate obligations. The target for reduced emissions for 2030 is 51%. What is the Government...

Mick Barry: Is the Taoiseach aware that there are now more than 30 vacant posts at Mallow Hospital? Is he aware that surgeries had to be cancelled at that hospital a few weeks back?

Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2024: Motion (22 Oct 2024)

Mick Barry: What exactly are the priorities of the Government? What is important to it and what is not? There are people out on the streets forced to go rattling tins to raise money for domestic violence centres and the Government decides to give almost €20 million to the greyhound industry. Does the Minister of State not know this is a cruel industry? Deputy Murphy said one quarter, and my...

Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2024: Motion (22 Oct 2024)

Mick Barry: This industry would not survive if it was not for State money propping it up. The stadiums are 90% empty. This is in the wake of all of the animal cruelty scandals. I will leave aside, for reasons of time, the Government's plans to give €80 million to the horseracing industry with the Shannonside Foods abattoir scandal still fresh in the memory. It is outrageous that the Government...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Oct 2024)

Mick Barry: The Taoiseach met Keir Starmer, whose government is arming Israel. He met Joe Biden. The Biden Administration is arming Israel big-time. These men have funded and armed a genocide; just look at the horrific events in Jabalia. After shaking the bloodstained hands of those men, has the Taoiseach had to wipe blood away from his own hand? He told Ryan Tubridy that he cries when he thinks...
