They follow the Ghandis, the Martin Luther Kings, the Helen Kellers, the Larry Pages and the Bill Gates. There is...

- Seanad: National Lottery: Motion (13 Feb 2013)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: To address Senators Eamonn Coghlan and Hayden, just because a person says something once, does not mean that he or she cannot say it twice or thrice. I am entitled to table the same Private Member's motion as many times as I like. The patronising of me has been extraordinary. It is as if I needed to be talked to. The patronising is obfuscation. The Minister is a worthy opponent. When I...

- Seanad: National Lottery: Motion (13 Feb 2013)
