Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Feb 2022)

Rónán Mullen: I will be extremely careful. The claims made by the Together for Safety group were suggestive of the fact that Ms Fitzgibbon and her group had knowledge and intent in relation to when abortions would be taking place in Limerick. That was not true and the Irish Independenthas since corrected the article online. It seems to me that the Together for Safety group, the Irish Independentand the...

Rónán Mullen: Because of the still constrained nature of the various groups in the Seanad making contributions I did not have a chance yesterday to pay tribute to the former Independent NUI Senator, John A.
