Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

Will he continue with the same subservient policy to the Bush and Blair regimes in support of their agenda, which has nothing to do with world peace or the welfare of the peoples of the Middle East? We should not be surprised he supports them when the Government follows their neo-liberal capitalist policies such as privatising our public industries. The Minister must do better and show respect to the Irish people by answering the crucial questions raised by the outcome of this election in the United States.
