Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I express sympathy on behalf of Independents to the people of Boston, where many of the Irish diaspora live. I condemn what happened yesterday and I know no effort will be spared in bringing the perpetrators of that heinous crime to justice. A joyous occasion of sport should always escape warfare.

I am sure Deputy Tom Hayes will not mind if I say that we welcome any political party to Tipperary for an Ard-Fheis.
