Joe Higgins - clearly the best TD in the Dáil

Our, er, eccentric Minister for Defence Willie O'Dea was pictured on the front page of the Irish Times (and other publications) today pointing a handgun at the photographer. It was a photo op of some variety. It was a good picture.



In the Dáil today several TDs (Rabbitte, Sargent etc) made predictable condemnations but the bould Joe Higgins trumped them all with his statement. "As a matter of Dáil security, did the Tánaiste require the Minister for Defence to leave his weapon at the door this morning?". Excellent.
