- State Property (30 Nov 2010)
Leo Varadkar: I asked the question because of a speech the Minister made some weeks ago. I do not want to go into the question of NewEra, but the Minister largely misrepresented it and then underlined his opposition to the sale of any State assets. He pointed out that a number of the semi-State companies are engaging in investment programmes, which is correct. Of course these are all the network...

- Company Takeovers (30 Nov 2010)
Leo Varadkar: This decision may turn out to be the biggest made by the Minister during his time in office. I hope he has made the right decision.

Leo Varadkar: The country is in crisis. There are 450,000 people unemployed and the Minister thinks it appropriate to spend â¬1 billion on power lines and â¬500 million on roads in Northern Ireland. The sooner this Government is out of office the better if that is its approach. I wish to raise with the Minister the recent statement by the Green Party that it had been misled and betrayed. Yesterday, on...
