Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2014)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the family of the late Gerry Conlon. They suffered more than any family could be asked to suffer.

Labhrás Ó Murchú: There is an old saying in Ireland that one cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and that is precisely what some people are endeavouring to do here this morning. There is a whiff of communist Russia in what is being heard this morning. As big as the banking inquiry may be, this is a much bigger issue altogether because it strikes at the foundation of democracy. Many people in Europe...
