Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I stated earlier there may well be a case for drawing a line under the events of the past, stating they were in the past, and having an amnesty Bill or a spent convictions Bill. One of the problems that prevents us from doing this is the failure of the party opposite to admit to the crimes that occurred in the past. I was really shocked during the presidential campaign by the behaviour of the Deputy First Minister. A lady with eight or nine children was killed by the IRA because she assisted a soldier; I do not recall her name.
