Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2006: Second Stage. (2 Jun 2006)

Marian Harkin: A number of questions have been asked today but I have just one. Where does the buck stop? The Minister boasted to the House that he had made the right decision. As recent events show, he made the wrong decision. It is as if he was saying he was right all along but that, unfortunately, the Supreme Court was the problem. Everything was going well until it interfered. As a defence from a...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2006: Second Stage. (2 Jun 2006)

School Support Programme. (25 May 2006)

Marian Harkin: I thank the Minister for her answer. I have looked at the Question Paper and I assure her that my office did not refer to the Minister as "he". That typo happened elsewhere. I have some supplementary questions. Many principals are concerned that, while some schools have lost disadvantaged status, others in the same feeder area have gained disadvantaged status. They cannot make sense of the...

School Support Programme. (25 May 2006)
