Is the Tánaiste satisfied there is legislative authority for another state to fingerprint Irish citizens? - Labour leader, Mr Pat Rabbitte, on fingerprinting at Irish airports, of citizens going to the US.To be honest, I don't know whether there is authority. I don't have legal expertise in the area. - the Tánaiste, Ms Harney.

Given Deputy Rabbitte's Mayo connections, I was wondering whether he agreed with Des Cahill who said if Michael Ring had been playing for Mayo, they would have trounced Kerry. - Ms Harney

Not if I was playing for Kerry. - Mr Joe Higgins, Socialist
