- Nomination of Taoiseach (10 Mar 2016)
John Halligan: It is regrettable that already three Deputies have been attacked essentially because people on the Government side of the House did not like what they said. I refer to Deputies Cullinane, Ross and Pearse Doherty. The fact remains that the people voted for these Deputies because of what they said on the doorsteps and the manifestoes they put to the people. Have we not learned that this is...

Are we seriously thinking that in the very near future, in a few months, we can go back to the people and say, "We are not happy with how you voted; would you please vote again". We cannot do that. We have a responsibility to the people of...

- Business of Dáil (6 Apr 2016)

- Business of Dáil (6 Apr 2016)
John Halligan: However, before we can do anything regarding housing or health, let us attempt to elect a Government. That is what we have come here for. Both parties are essentially right. I believe the Dáil should sit again to discuss the serious issues of housing and so forth. The preferred option of the people of Ireland would be that a Government would be elected to deal with the problems...
