Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy. (1 Mar 2006)

Brian Hayes: I would like to echo the comments of the Leader of the House, Senator O'Rourke in her tributes to the former Senator, Larry McMahon. The family were very pleased and honoured that the Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann, Senator Kiely, was able to attend the funeral mass in Boharnabreena last week. They wished that I put on the record that to have such a senior office holder, the Speaker of this...

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy. (1 Mar 2006)

Brian Hayes: It was a sign of the respect he had achieved throughout the country among council colleagues. He had strong convictions and a strong connection with his faith and believed that many decisions taken in the 1980s by our party and others were not the best ones. He held those views until the end, was sincere in his convictions and did not mollify his views to suit the trends of the time. He was...

Seanad: Order of Business. (1 Mar 2006)

Brian Hayes: I am sure the Leader will agree we all have the responsibility to condemn outright the riots on the streets of Dublin last Saturday. We all have the responsibility to support the Garda in its difficult task of ensuring public safety on our streets. That is the easy bit. It is harder to understand why so many people in this country still believe the demonstrators from Northern Ireland have no...

Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Mar 2006)

Brian Hayes: We agree to that. In recent years our national holiday has been turned into a drink-filled freshers week binge. We have seen terrible instances of drunkenness and disorderly behaviour on the streets of Dublin following the St. Patrick's Day parade. We have also seen a large number of arrests, particularly in the past three years, in Dublin city centre. I endorse calls made yesterday by a...

Brian Hayes: I welcome the Minister to the House and thank the Leader for organising this debate so rapidly. The Minister stated that he has the responsibility to stand four square behind the Garda Síochána with regard to last Saturday's events. However, that is not only the responsibility of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform but also of the Houses of the Oireachtas. The Garda Síochána...

Brian Hayes: Last Saturday evening a young mother was brutally murdered as she attended a birthday on the north side of this city. This case highlights again the control gun culture has over this country.

The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law...
