- Gateway Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (11 Mar 2014)
John Halligan: It is interesting to those of us on this side of the House, particularly many of the Independents, Sinn Féin and, one would have thought, the Labour Party, that if one was watching television at home and the Conservative Party in England or Margaret Thatcher if she were still alive came up with this idea one would be aghast, as are many people. I am aware from speaking to some people on...

- Government's Priorities for the Year Ahead: Statements (Resumed) (5 Mar 2014)
John Halligan: I will concentrate on the EirGrid project. Despite being the head of communications in this country, the Minister has failed abjectly to communicate a clear and comprehensive account of the Government's involvement in the project.
