Eoghan Murphy (Dublin South East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

At my first English lecture as a student in UCD, the lecturer, who was the head of the department, stood in front of 300 students and referenced a song by the Manic Street Preachers when he told us that libraries give us power. I thought this was quite cool at the time, even though the members of the band in question were a bunch of lefties - no offence intended to anybody in this House.
