European Communities Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Feb 2007)

Finian McGrath: Hear, hear.

European Communities Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Feb 2007)

Finian McGrath: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this very important legislation, the European Communities Bill 2006. From the introductory statement by the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach, Deputy Treacy, it is clear, as he said, this Bill has a national purpose. In this regard it is important to have an informed debate and to hear all sides of the House. There is an element in...

Foreign Conflicts. (8 Feb 2007)

There seems to be a fudge by the Minister with regard to the 2,000 people killed and the 3,500 injured over 47 years. This is the core issue. A small country is being attacked by groups based in Miami and we have nothing to say about it. That is unacceptable. When we go...
