Confidence in Taoiseach: Motion (26 Sep 2007)

Leo Varadkar: I wish to share time with Deputies Sheehan and Creed. This debate is not about the Government's record on Northern Ireland, the economy, the health service, transport and the environment. It is not about the personal affairs of the Taoiseach, Deputy Bertie Ahern, despite his attempts to bring family problems into the debate at every possible opportunity afforded by RTE but not by the tribunal.

Confidence in Taoiseach: Motion (26 Sep 2007)

Even Mr. Padraic O'Connor of NCB Stockbrokers, for example, denies that...

Confidence in Taoiseach: Motion (26 Sep 2007)

Confidence in Taoiseach: Motion (26 Sep 2007)

Leo Varadkar: Sadly, this dark affair will darken the Taoiseach's record in the same way as Tony Blair's involvement in Iraq or Bill Clinton's corruption and personal scandals darkened theirs. History will judge the Taoiseach as being both devious and cunning, in the words of his mentor, master and, clearly, role model.
