- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste's indignation is welcome. If I were to go back over the record of the Dáil when the Tánaiste was on the Opposition benches, I am sure it was the same script he repeated every week.

Timmy Dooley: I have two simple follow-up questions. How does the Tánaiste intend to demonstrate that work can actually pay?
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
