Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Hospital Services (26 Nov 2013)

In brief, the answer to the first question was it is not...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Nov 2013)

Mark Daly: If that was happening in Argentina, Central America or the Far East, they would call them "death squads".

Mark Daly: Follow that one.

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Nov 2013)

Mark Daly: I welcome Jody Blake's return. She might bring some law and order to a sometimes unruly House. I also extend my sympathy to Senator Eamonn Coghlan on the death of his mother.
