How did she render him "speechless" ? The question is directed to the Tániste not Joe Higgins so he can't reply in this video clip.

Fairly pathetic on labour's part. The "question" is directed at the tánaiste so of course Joe can't reply. Seems like labour are pretty desperate to score some political points...

So, it turns out the pension funds of the very wealthy will be exempt (and that was what Joe Higgins' question was about). A bit embarrassing for Joanna there.

Nevertheless...well done Deputy Tuffy
