Catherine Noone: I wish to speak on an issue which I previously raised in 2013 around the use of old telephone boxes as locations for defibrillators that would be easily identifiable in a town or a city.

- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Nov 2016)
Catherine Noone: The Taoiseach said very little, in fairness. He said that he will go to the United States for St. Patrick's Day. There would be more criticism if we did not continue that relationship. That is all he has said. I agree with Angela Merkel's comments and I agree with the Senator raising the matter. I found yesterday very depressing. Many people did. Senator Ned O'Sullivan used the word...
