Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment: Motion [Private Members] (7 Oct 2020)

Mick Barry: ...is a legitimate question which the movers of the motion need to answer, and I am going to attempt to answer it. The basic point is that Ireland is a wealthy country. There is a serious amount of wealth in this country but it is very poorly distributed. In fact, a tiny minority of people control the majority of the wealth. We have seen already how the Government turned its back on the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-budget Engagement: Minister for Finance (1 Oct 2020)

Paschal Donohoe: I thank the Deputy. I am participating in an event with Commissioner Vestager in the morning. I have a lot of respect and recognition for the work she does.

Expenditure Response to Covid-19 Crisis: Statements (Resumed) (17 Sep 2020)

Mick Barry: ...on the issue of wealth taxes. Ten people in this country have a combined personal wealth of €50 billion, and the Government will not even entertain a debate on the question of a wealth tax.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...relief to a handful of multinational corporations that are already supremely profitable.

Damien English: ...the schemes being operated in other countries. I will take a moment to compare our scheme with those in the UK and elsewhere around Europe. There is a lot of misinformation and it is important that we understand what we are comparing. Sometimes, one hears people comparing apples and oranges.

Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (22 Jul 2020)

Cian O'Callaghan: ...Union level. I call on the Taoiseach and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to take that stand.

Mick Barry: ..., to bring it up to the EU average, one would need an investment of €2.27 billion. It is not cheap. It is a lot of money but it is worth doing. It is possible to do if one goes after the likes of the €14 billion in the Apple escrow account rather than joining forces with Apple and saying that we do not want it. It is possible if one goes for a steeply progressive taxation...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government (21 Jul 2020)

Richard Boyd Barrett: On one level, the programme for Government contains everything. It is motherhood and apple pie. Some of us have criticised it because, when one looks at the detail, it is vague and aspirational and does not make tangible commitments in the key areas in which people demanded change at the general election. That is where my question is focused. For example, the section entitled "An...
