- Leaders' Questions (23 Apr 2015)
Ruth Coppinger: Does the Tánaiste have any idea how people lying on trolleys or looking at water charge bills on mats feel as they hear the revelations about the sale of Siteserv? The Tánaiste does herself and her party no favours by the swaggering attitude she has displayed over the past half an hour.

The only tender that included payments to directors was the Millington tender. If...
