Most families here have had their children go on skiing holidays to Europe and to wake up to...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Mar 2012)

Jimmy Harte: I thank Senator Terry Leyden for raising this matter. He has covered the point I made yesterday, namely, that erroneous information is being peddled on the Internet about the legality of the household charge. In the interests of those who want to pay it - I believe all of the people in the country want to do so - the Minister should clarify the position. Will the Leader ask the Minister for...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2012)

Jimmy Harte: I join Senator O'Sullivan on the issue of the household charge and call for the Minister to address the House on this crucial issue.
