- Public Order Offences: Statements. (28 Feb 2006)
Joe Higgins: The Socialist Party condemns those who orchestrated Saturday's violence. It was a sectarian riot to prevent the Love Ulster group marching through Dublin. My party believes that the Love Ulster campaign is based on sectarianism and that its activities heighten sectarian divisions and encourage disunity among working class people, especially in Northern Ireland.

Joe Higgins: I am surprised the Ceann Comhairle does not recognise their relevance.
