- The Fine Gael leader, Mr John Bruton, seeking details of the Bacon report on houses prices in the Dail yesterday

I accepted Premier Zhu's invitation to visit China and invited him to visit Ireland.

Before the election, the Taoiseach was going to send Albert Reynolds North, now I see he has sent him east instead.
