Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Voices of All Communities on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Discussion (30 Sep 2022)

The Senator wrote an article and was then quoted by the former Supreme Court judge, Mrs. Justice Catherine McGuinness, in our launch of Seanad 100 this week on Northern voices.

That is why we are here, to listen to all the voices and learn from those like Mr. Beckton who...
