Seanad: Business of Seanad. (4 Jul 2003)

Brian Hayes: I support the Leader's tributes to Liam Fitzgibbon, who has retired as Editor of Debates in these Houses. The hardest job of anyone in these Houses is to make sense of the ramblings of those of us in both Houses. Mr. Fitzgibbon and his staff have done the State some service in that regard. A serious issue arises, however, about the Editor of Debates and the transcripts that are produced....

It would have been easier for Lady Valerie Goulding and many other women in her position growing up in...

Seanad: Death of Former Members: Expressions of Sympathy. (7 Oct 2003)

Brian Hayes: It was with great sadness that members of my party learned of Mr. Bernard Markey's death over the summer, not only because of his contribution to politics in the Fine Gael Party and in County Louth but also because he died, at a relatively young age, in his early 60s. We join other colleagues in expressing our sympathy to his wife, Anne, his daughter, Tara, and the extended Markey family on...

Seanad: Death of Former Members: Expressions of Sympathy. (7 Oct 2003)

He lost the general election in November 1982 and so spent only a short period in the Dáil. He was a Senator from 1973 until the 1980s and made a distinguished contribution to this House.

Seanad: Death of Former Members: Expressions of Sympathy. (7 Oct 2003)

Brian Hayes: I join with the Leader in paying tribute to former Senator Walsh who died recently. He lived to a great age. His membership of this House in the 1950s is a reminder of another generation. He made a significant contribution to the House, particularly on justice matters. On behalf of my colleagues I extend our sympathy to the Walsh family. Long may his memory remain in the House for his...

Brian Hayes: On No. 4, the Leader proposes to hold statements on the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse today and tomorrow.

It would be much more useful than simple statements from both sides of the House. If the Minister was to remain for an hour or so and answer direct...
