Although Opposition Members have every right to express their views, I am somewhat disappointed that the word "racism" has been used. I am...

He came up with an apology three months later. I do...

Seanad: Order of Business. (5 May 2004)

Paschal Mooney: It is very difficult to talk of human rights in other parts of the world after hearing our colleague Senator Leyden talk of the human rights issue at the gates of Leinster House. The world goes on nevertheless. I support Senator McDowell's request for a debate on Africa. Specific questions need to be answered. In Darfur in Sudan, near the Chad border, ethnic cleansing is being carried out as...

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 May 2004)

Paschal Mooney: I am not a star or celebrity unfortunately. I am sure the Deputy Leader will respond to the unfair allegations about the Minister for Transport.
