Labhrás Ó Murchú: ...launched and to talk about some of the aims and opportunities that exist within it. I agree with the Minister that in this time of economic challenges there is considerable opportunity for us to tap into that wellspring of commitment, voluntary service and pride of place that is to be found in the rural community.

They said it is like turning on a tap, where the water flows until it becomes a waterfall and we are at the end trying to catch the water in buckets. That is what we are trying to do to solve the problems of alcohol abuse. The...

Labhrás Ó Murchú: ...Opposition for its part in producing that motion. We gave a lead to the Dáil because shortly afterwards a united approach was also displayed there.

We must provide leadership for that goodwill. I take this opportunity to...

The greatest sermon Pope John Paul II gave us was not a sermon of words but the example of the manner in which he accepted his suffering. Almost everyone sitting in front of a...
