EU Directives. (16 Feb 2006)

Catherine Murphy: I offer my congratulations to the new Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture and Food, Deputy Mary Wallace.

Labour Affairs: Motion (Resumed). (22 Feb 2006)

The Minister's party probably discovered how many people watched its Ard-Fheis through the number of people who immediately afterwards picked up on the announcement.
