Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It was used against ordinary people, in particular women, who went to a political meeting and were walking out in the ordinary way as ordinary citizens. I remind Deputy Adams also that I have said on many occasions that it is perfectly in order for people in this country to democratically and legitimately express their concerns through protest in a peaceful way. What was witnessed in that case did not worry me but it was certainly very abusive towards women in particular. The language was simply appalling. Deputy Adams has said he has a broad-based group and that the people involved are associated with a broad-based group. There were members of his party in Limerick and in Clare and they were using abusive language. Deputy Adams was not there; I was, and I heard it.
