Statute Law Revision (Pre-1922) Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (20 Oct 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Taoiseach went on to state that "ancient laws passed by foreign Parliaments in the name of the British monarchy have no place in our modern democracy".

I believed, from the way it was written and the enthusiasm of the language used that without our knowledge, in its negotiations and contacts with the British...
