The Taoiseach has said any censure of Socialist Party TD, Joe Higgins, who was sent to jail on Friday for breaching High Court injunctions was a matter for the Oireachtas.
Mr Ahern said the Dáil had already passed a motion to the effect that any breach of a court order by a TD was a serious offence.
Asked why he had called for Tony Gregory's release when he was jailed in the 1980s for supporting the Moore Street traders, Mr Ahern said ‘ah, but he's a nice guy.’
