Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Nov 2016)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Most of what I have heard in here has been quite spurious up to now. It is an interesting point because climate change is an enormous issue.

I am concerned about the Bill and I agree with Senators who say that we do not have...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I wish to point out something stark. I wrote about the matter in 2013. There are 1,200 cases of cancer every year owing to alcohol. No one wants to talk about this.

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I thank the witnesses for being here and it is a pleasure to be here. It is such a relief to see people with energy, artistry, creativity and culture coming before us.
