The severe sanctions imposed on Green Party TD, Neasa Hourigan, for backing a motion that sought the retention of the eviction ban contrasts starkly with the way Minster Niall Collins had been treated by the Government in the wake of those unanswered questions about a planning application.

I hope the Greens will press for a little “parity of esteem” in Leinster House because; after all, what’s sauce for the Green goose should also be sauce for the Fianna Fáil gander.
