- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Middle East Issues (1 Apr 2014)
Joe Higgins: The Taoiseach disgraced himself and betrayed the best instincts of fair mindedness in the Irish people when he visited the Gulf states in January and when he deliberately averted his gaze from the shocking crushing of workers' rights, human rights and women's rights. The Irish Daily Mirror is not a revolutionary newspaper and certainly would not have anything in common with the Socialist...

The journalist who wrote yesterday's piece in the Irish Daily Mirror, Kevin Maguire, visited Qatar, like...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Middle East Issues (1 Apr 2014)
Joe Higgins: In defending himself on this, the Taoiseach told The Irish Times that he wanted to focus on endorsing the credibility and integrity of Irish companies doing business. Is it not the case that he was concentrating exclusively on private profits of corporations rather than human rights? When my Socialist Party colleague, Paul Murphy MEP, wrote to the Taoiseach to complain about this, the...

- Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)
Joe Higgins: The Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter, has finally apologised to the two Garda whistleblowers. To do so, apparently, it was necessary for him to be flanked by a praetorian guard of political heavyweights, with the Taoiseach on one side and the Minister for Finance on the other. They must have feared that, even as his very head depended on the apology, the Minister would...
