Future of Irish Farming: Motion. (7 Feb 2006)

Johnny Brady: I congratulate the Minister on her Trojan work on behalf of the farming community. Since assuming office 16 months ago, her efforts at the Cabinet table, at EU level and at the WTO negotiations in Hong Kong last December have been second to none. The agriculture industry is in safe hands with the Minister and her two Ministers for State. It is cheap of Fine Gael to table a vote of no...

Future of Irish Farming: Motion. (7 Feb 2006)

Johnny Brady: It will be a tragedy for agriculture if the Leas-Cheann Comhairle asks me to conclude. I ask Deputy Naughten and his Fine Gael colleagues to go back to 1974 when he was a garsún in short trousers.

Live Exports. (29 Mar 2006)

We have recruited more than 1,700 extra gardaí into...
