Seanad: Order of Business (29 Sep 2011)

Maurice Cummins: The reason it went off well was that Members kept their questions sharp and concise. Some had submitted their questions in advance.

Seanad: Address by President of the Irish Human Rights Commission (28 Sep 2011)

Maurice Cummins: I second the vote of thanks to Dr. Manning who has made a thought-provoking and inspiring address.

In his ten years as president of the Irish Human Rights Commission, he has carried out his duties in an exemplary manner and continues to do so. It is only...
