Since the Attorney General [Mr Michael McDowell] failed on the Radical Party issue, I wonder would the Taoiseach advise him that the only name left to propose at the next meeting is the redundant party?

- Mr Joe Higgins (Socialist Party)

The Minister is like a character in The Simpsons. - The Fine Gael leader, Mr John Bruton, to the Minister for Public Enterprise, Ms O'Rourke

I won't say what you are like. It is not repeatable.

- Ms O'Rourke
