- Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2007)
Joe Higgins: The Taoiseach did not, however, get to grips with the essentials of the question.

- Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2007)
Joe Higgins: No, I am merely contrasting that with the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government ignoring the massive fines and waste of taxpayers' money he is leaving the country exposed to by virtue of not cutting emissions back.

- Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2007)
Joe Higgins: Many people will have seen the very dignified appearance by Mrs. Christine O'Toole on RTE last night.

She complained validly about the spin created in a number of media outlets yesterday to the effect that her son was "known to the gardaÃ". That...

The Taoiseach did not comment...
