Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2021)

Regina Doherty: I add my condolences to Senator McGahon's very timely tribute. It is very sad to hear of the passing of Eoin. We extend our condolences to his wife and children.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2021)

Regina Doherty: We are all well aware of the reasons behind the extension this week and it has nothing to do with Northern Ireland.

Seanad: International Women's Day: Statements (8 Mar 2021)

Regina Doherty: I start by wishing all my colleagues here and all those who work in the Houses of the Oireachtas a very happy International Women's Day because too often in our line of business, it is seen as a man's world.
