- Seanad: Order of Business (25 Jun 2015)
Paul Coghlan: I wish to fully endorse the Cathaoirleach's welcome to Ann Widdecombe this morning who has done so much to champion the cause and to promote the right to life. It is appalling what is happening across the water from us and in other places, that so many lives are being lost in the womb as is happening throughout the world. We would want to be very careful not to travel down that slippery...
