Order of Business (25 Apr 2013)

Micheál Martin: This would seem to vindicate The Sunday Times report by Sarah McInerney from last Sunday which when I put it to the Taoiseach earlier this week he said he had no idea in the world from where it came. It now seems this Bill has been circulating in the Department of Health. I note and accept that the Ministers of State, Deputies Kathleen Lynch and White, are furious that it was suggested they...

Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2013)

Micheál Martin: There is no doubt but that the cost of mortgages represents an extraordinary burden on thousands of families, many of whom see no light at the end of the tunnel.

Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2013)
