- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: We will call a vote and they will be upset about the business but none of them bothered dissenting at the meeting. Let us have a little bit of fairness and give and take here. Deputy McGrath's commitment to investment in water services is something we share. The Government is very keen to do more in relation to water. Irish Water as a vehicle is delivering but investing more in its...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is fairly hard for any Deputy in the House to get elected. For each Deputy, it is a difficult ordeal. Notwithstanding that, it is easy enough to come up from Kerry. There are no restrictions all the way on the road up but it is getting increasingly more difficult to come into this building. On my way, I went out of the Dáil and I wanted to come back up through Molesworth Street....
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: All right Deputy. There are security measures in place because of threatened protest outside. We did not want to see happening today what happened on our return last September. The Superintendent circulated to every Member the details of how access could be achieved. I accept that it is problematic for Members and I am quite prepared to talk to them offline about how we might improve...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank all the contributors. I am sorry I missed the opening statements but I was over in the Dáil. I had read through most of their submissions and I thank them. I want to ask about the State construction company that NERI asked about because I am very much in favour of that. Does anybody have an opinion on that? NERI mentioned in its document that one way to use some of the...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I mostly want to ask about the future, the budget and all the rest but, given the debate we had in the Dáil today and the Apple tax issue, I just want to ask a question. My question is for the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, in particular, because he was around then. Does he and the Government regret the fact it did not take on the views of some of us in the Opposition back in 2013 when we...

Richard Boyd Barrett: It is not just any old taxpayer.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: We will certainly agree to disagree on that one.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I think most ordinary people in this country would say that if they were accused of taking money from the people that the people should have had, they would be chased down by the State for doing that. In some cases they might even end up in prison for doing it, such as for TV licences and so on. I think most people would find that pretty difficult to stomach. At the time, some of us said...

Richard Boyd Barrett: We will agree to disagree.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: The Minister has answered it. I am amazed that the Government does not regret what has happened. If we had had that money, it might have made a difference. We could now possibly do with that money but it seems to me that it would have made a dramatic difference to the current housing crisis that we are facing had we had access to that money then and had the Government pursued it instead of...
