Would the Taoiseach like to comment on the level of fairness in that regard? I refer to the fact that Deputies like him, who have property, are able to base their constituency offices in their own properties, whereas Deputies who have no property have to pay the...

- Leaders' Questions (12 Dec 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I am not sure whether the Taoiseach saw "Prime Time Investigates" on RTE last night, which made me very angry, but he can indicate whether he did. We can all be angry about people being forced to live 50 miles from where they work because they cannot afford a house any closer. However, the behaviour of the gombeen men and racketeers who give auctioneers and estate agents a bad name angered...
- Leaders' Questions (12 Dec 2006)

Such matters require law, not merely independent regulation or a regulatory authority. The Taoiseach has had nearly ten years to deal with these matters. The Central Bank suggests that house prices are...
- Leaders' Questions (12 Dec 2006)
Trevor Sargent: We must get answers to these questions as they were raised on the public airwaves. The Taoiseach referred to an independent regulatory authority but did not say when legislation will be introduced in the areas I mentioned.

- Order of Business (12 Dec 2006)
Trevor Sargent: Each of these matters deserves debate, with No. 20 deserving our particular attention in light of the Farrell Grant Sparks report. The future of fisheries is clearly perilous. This omnibus approach does not suggest the Government is paying attention or being accountable to the House on these matters. No. 20, which is to be taken as part of a general omnibus, highlights the irrelevance of...
