Finance (No. 2) Bill 2007: Second Stage. (26 Jun 2007)

Richard Bruton: I congratulate the Leas-Cheann Comhairle on his appointment.

I again congratulate the Leas-Cheann Comhairle on his election and I look forward to...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2007: Second Stage. (26 Jun 2007)

Richard Bruton: That is a pity. It is part of the chronic arrogance of the Government that it is guillotining such a motion. The whole policy in this area needs change. I defy anyone on the other side of the House to give me any convincing reasons to believe that the housing market has been managed competently by the Government. All the indicators are to the contrary. Sadly, the very bloated nature of...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2007: Second Stage. (26 Jun 2007)
