Seanad: Order of Business (23 Mar 2007)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: I support Senator Glynn's call for an inquiry into the murder of Councillor Eddie Fullerton. I raised the case previously in this House and will continue to do so because it contains several sinister elements. The deafening silence has to cause concern among all of us. This man was involved in the democratic process and his murder took place in the middle of an election campaign. In...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Mar 2007)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: I join the other Senators in commenting on yesterday's development. It was one of the most historic events in the long and turbulent history of Ireland. We witnessed the laying aside of tags such as "nationalist" and "unionist" and their replacement with the common name of Irishmen and women. Nobody could fail to be struck by the unity of purpose evident in the statements of the two...

Seanad: Health Bill 2006: Committee Stage (27 Mar 2007)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: It will be interesting to hear the Minister of State's view on local authority members. Perhaps there is some argument we should hear. I understand why there might be reasons for excluding Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas due to conflicts of interest. Based on my experience with local authority members over the years, I can say that they are people with an ear to ground who are...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Apr 2007)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: In my ten years' experience in the House I have found every Member to have a strong humanitarian orientation in considering those who are vulnerable and helpless, particularly the aged. I have heard many contributions from Members speaking on behalf of old people who have been victimised or suffered. There is a case of a 96 year old woman in Galway who, in her twilight years, will have her...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Apr 2007)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: We discussed the justice system last week. Whether it is politically correct or not, an old woman should not find herself in this position. Opportunities existed to ensure the person who will be imprisoned would undertake community service. I do not accept that the woman should be in this position.

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Apr 2007)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Mr. MacEntee, SC, is one of the most eminent lawyers in this State. He has been noted down through the years for his tenacity in the pursuit of real justice. I have no doubt he made a valiant effort in this case to break through a wall of silence to find the truth, to bring solace to the families whose lives all these years have been a living hell, and to bring some semblance of closure to...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2007)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Is mian liom aontú leis na cainteoirí eile agus a rá gur onóir iontach é a bheith páirteach sa Seanad. Ba phribhléid é freisin a bheith ag obair as lámh a chéile le comhghleacaithe ar an dá thaobh den Teach, daoine a raibh taithí, tuiscint agus fís don todhchaí acu. Táimid go léir faoi chomaoin ag na daoine a ghlac páirt in an-chuid de na rudaí móra a tharla sa tír seo,...

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Fáiltím roimh an Aire agus an cur síos a thug sé dúinn ar an Bhille, a bhí thar a bheith soiléir. Tuigimid uilig go bhfuil riachtanas dlí leis an reachtaíocht seo. Ó bheith ag éisteacht leis an Aire, is féidir liom a rá nach bhfuil aon amhras ormsa. Tríd is tríd, is rud bunúsach é seo ó thaobh cúrsaí teicniúla de. Tá sé tábhachtach freisin, áfach, go ndéanfaí...

Seanad: Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2007: Second Stage. (1 May 2007)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire agus na Seanadóirí eile go rabhamar in ann bheith ar aon guth maidir leis an mBille seo. I want to avail of the opportunity to thank the Minister for the courtesy and accessibility he has always extended to Members of this House. I always had the feeling that he enjoyed very much the interaction with Members of the Seanad. I want to take the opportunity, as...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Jul 2007)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Tréaslaím leat, a Chathaoirligh, as ucht cúig bliana a chaitheamh sa Chathaoir. Níl aon amhras faoi ach gur thug tú stádas faoi leith don Seanad. Bhí tú cothram agus macánta linn i gconaí. Tá súil agam go n-éireoidh go geal leat amach anseo. This House has been proactive on many serious issues over the years and one of them, which has been the subject of several debates, is...
