Leaders' Questions (19 Jun 2013)

Clare Daly: It is important to take this opportunity to bring some balance into the discussion surrounding the visit of the US President and his wife, given the almost unprecedented slobbering over the Obama family to which the nation has been exposed in recent days. It is difficult to decide which is worse, the outpourings of President Obama and his wife or the sycophantic fawning over them by the...

Leaders' Questions (19 Jun 2013)

Leaders' Questions (19 Jun 2013)

Clare Daly: I did not say anything about the Northern Ireland peace process. While everyone supports the peace process, that does not give one a licence to do whatever one likes anywhere else around the globe.

Clare Daly: It is a real irony that such has been the mishandling of the case for the abolition of the Seanad by the Taoiseach that the spectre has been raised of this archaic, irrelevant and highly undemocratic institution potentially being rescued from annihilation.
