Mary White (Carlow-Kilkenny, Green Party)

These are small steps, but they are necessary steps. I am reminded of my old history teacher in the Ursuline convent in Waterford, the long-since deceased Angela McGrath. When we were struggling boarding students she used to quote Winston Churchill to us and she used to say, "never never never never ever give up". We on this side of the House will not give up, to get things right for our country.
