Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (28 Mar 2006)

Joe Higgins: It is obvious that to clear up all these issues the full co-operation of the British State authorities is necessary, otherwise it will be a sham. What hope is there of getting the British State to reveal all the information it has on these issues in the Republic when in a far more recent case in Northern Ireland, the Blair regime is actively frustrating the full inquiry into the Pat Finucane...

European Council Meetings. (29 Mar 2006)

Joe Higgins: While it is all very well getting the rip-off by the mobile telephone companies onto the agenda of the European leaders and the Commission, would the Taoiseach agree that the key point is to get speedy action? The international mobile telephone companies mercilessly rip-off Irish people travelling in Europe with so-called roaming charges. Even the term roaming would suggest that one should...

European Council Meetings. (29 Mar 2006)

Joe Higgins: They have been allowed free rein. In that regard, the fact that the word profiteering would pass the Taoiseach's lips suggests that it must be fairly severe because I have never succeeded in getting the same terminology out of him on those such as home-grown land speculators to whom he has given free rein as well. What is the timescale in reining in the charges of these massive companies?...

Order of Business. (30 Mar 2006)

Joe Higgins: We know that the chief executive of Ryanair would like to take full control of all the airports in the State but was it not going a bit far to invade a British military airfield in Derry?

Order of Business. (30 Mar 2006)

Joe Higgins: I suggest the Air Corps should be put on alert. Will the Minister introduce a supplementary Estimate for emergency provision for the 200 children in Dublin West who were denied places in school in September? In the same week as further revelations of tens of thousands of euro in bribes to local politicians in Fingal, is it not clear that the children of west Dublin are the victims of this...

Order of Business. (30 Mar 2006)

Irish Language: Statements. (30 Mar 2006)

Joe Higgins: Tá mé ag roinnt mo chuid ama leis na Teachtaí, Boyle agus Ó Snodaigh. Le cúpla lá anuas tá tuarascáil bliantúil 2005 ón gCoimisinéir Teanga idir lámha agam. Deireann sé go dteastaíonn druidim ón imeall go hionad lárnach an Ghaeilge agus go neartófar an tuiscint in intinn an phobal gur gné tábhachtach agus luachmhar d'ár saol í an Ghaeilge. Aontaím go mór leis an...

Irish Language: Statements. (30 Mar 2006)

Joe Higgins: Níl mórán ama agam, is cuma liom, Daingean, Daingean Uí Chúis, Dingle. An pointe atá agam gur é an dhá theangachas an tslí ar aghaidh.

Irish Language: Statements. (30 Mar 2006)

Joe Higgins: Ba cheart don tAire éist go cruinn. Níl aon áit sa tír seo ina mbaineann oidhreacht na Ghaeilge comh mór leis ná na Blascaodaí agus an Blascaod Mór, agus an litríocht iontach Ghaeilge a tháinig ón t-oileán sin. Impím ar an Aire páirc náisiúnta oidhreachta a dhéanamh as an mBlascaod Mór a chur ar ais ar an mbóthar. Sin a theastaíonn ó na daoine díograiseach a chur faoi...
