- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2024)
Gerry Horkan: I want to touch briefly on Europe Day. I know that there were statements on Europe Day last week but I was in Moldova representing this Parliament as the convener of the Ireland-Moldova Parliamentary Friendship Group at an event which that country was holding for all of the various conveners of friendship groups across the EU. We remember hearing about what Ireland was like before we joined...

There are certain things I would like to stress...

Gerry Horkan: I had actually picked up the hammer and tipped the bell by accident. It was eight seconds, but I think Senator Ward is okay. As always, I would be lax and generous with time for him in particular, not that he would never need it. As I often say, it is a maximum rather than a target.
