Improper behaviour

MICHAEL MCDOWELL'S intemperate and personalised attack on Richard Bruton followed his outrageous comments to John Gormley in the Dáil.

It's clear the Government is feeling the pressure from the proposed Fine Gael/Labour alliance and has decided to have its ministers attack the opposition at every opportunity. However, a Justice Minister who behaves in such an unbalanced fashion should not be tolerated.
