It has gone unnoticed in this Chamber, but the North-South Interparliamentary Association has...

Seanad: Order of Business (29 Jun 2016)

Frank Feighan: I join other Senators in condemning the awful massacre in Istanbul Atatürk Airport. It happened during Ramadan, which is a period of prayer, fasting, religious devotion and charity.

For anyone who is not familiar with what has happened at Roscommon hospital, some €20 million has been spent on it in the past five years, the endoscopy unit is open, there is an air ambulance, rehab...
