Martin Kenny (Sligo-Leitrim, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

To be honest, I was not going to speak on this Bill at all. I was up in the office watching on the monitor and listening to Deputy Breathnach. While I was angry for a moment, it soon turned to regret that Fianna Fáil Members have come to a place at which they see any opportunity to speak about this conflict as an opportunity to attack Sinn Féin. To go to such places as to talk about child sex abuse in the context of a debate of this nature displays something that Fianna Fáil certainly should be well above at this stage as the political party that has been in power for so long in this country. It is more than disappointing that this is where it is.
