Fidelma Healy Eames: This has been the most emotional presentation that I have ever been present for. I am struck by the level of healing that Féileacáin is offering people at a time of grief when, as Deputy Neville said, there is no other outward sign of the acknowledgment of the parents' huge loss. We do funerals well in Ireland. We go through a process which helps people deal with their...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Oct 2014)

Fidelma Healy Eames: Listening to the debates over the weekend, two words struck me: "hypocrisy" and "cover-up". On the hypocrisy of the leader of Sinn Féin, Deputy Gerry Adams, it took the courage of a young woman, Mairía Cahill, who had been violated to finally get an admission from him that there was the practice of having kangaroo courts within the Republican movement, which was a second abuse, on...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Oct 2014)

Fidelma Healy Eames: What I am looking for is less hypocrisy and more truth. I was also struck by the hypocrisy of the Government and members of the Government parties in the cover-up about Irish Water. Let us call a spade a spade.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Nov 2014)

Fidelma Healy Eames: We will have a debate tomorrow on this. It is about water, but it is about more than this. It is about the effect of the recession on the people. They are saying enough is enough and this is the tipping point. I would be grateful for silence from my fellow Senators.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Nov 2014)

Fidelma Healy Eames: If we needed proof of this, I was struck by the report issued last week by UNICEF on the effect of the recession on children, which showed that 170,000 Irish children, our citizens, live in poverty. One must question the Government's priorities in this case. I take my hat off to Fr. Tony O'Riordan in Moyross who put out a plea to Catholic churches throughout the country to sell any unused...
