Seanad: Order of Business (29 Nov 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: He was seen as evil by capitalists in promoting communism but he was a great soul, particularly in making the stand he did against the might and sometimes paranoid power of the United States.

Seanad: Horticulture Industry: Statements (22 Nov 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the Minister to the Chamber for this important debate. When it comes to agriculture, for the most part it is not the horticulture industry that grabs the headlines.
