Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael)

The only harassment and bullying I have seen in the past couple of weeks involved supporters of the "No" campaign harassing and bullying the Taoiseach as he campaigned across the country. They tried to prevent him from explaining the situation to ordinary, decent citizens. Deputy Higgins should exercise influence over his supporters, if he has any, to stop this harassment of the Taoiseach and respect the dignity of his office and the offices we hold as Members of this Parliament. He should not go for street politics when he can express himself freely in here.
