Seanad: Order of Business. (9 May 2006)

Shane Ross: ...Ireland. It is a fitting time to pay tribute to the people from all denominations, from those involved in the early talks in the 1970s to those involved in last year's surrender of arms by the IRA. These people played a role behind the scenes without being aggressive or active in other ways in this particular crusade against the men of violence on both sides. It is appropriate for us to...

Seanad: Northern Ireland Issues: Statements. (2 Feb 2006)

Shane Ross: ...raids which took place over the past few days. I would like to see an estimate of the extent of this particularly evil empire we just discovered. I do not believe it happened overnight. The IRA has run these rackets for many years. What appears to have happened is that while the IRA and Sinn Féin have run these rackets for many years——

Seanad: Northern Ireland Issues: Statements. (2 Feb 2006)

Shane Ross: While the IRA has given up its arms, it seems to have handed over a legacy of criminality, which is yielding an extraordinary amount of money to an organisation which will perpetuate it. I am worried that the Government is not pursuing this with the vigour we should expect. I am worried because I suspect that, unbeknown to us, things are going on behind the scenes that may lead to a certain...

Seanad: Northern Ireland Issues: Statements. (6 Oct 2005)

Shane Ross: ...and Maurice Hayes, who have played such distinguished roles in bringing peace to this island, it is right that a message should go from Senators Brian Hayes and Norris about the fact while that the IRA may have gone away — hopefully it has done so — its legacy is still with us. Senator Brian Hayes was very courageous to say in this hour of great joy and triumph that while the war is...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Mar 2005)

Shane Ross: ...this sort of violence, our society has reached a stage of corruption of which we are not aware. There is a real danger that we are beginning to accept the ethos and language of violence. The IRA cleverly demonstrated this last night when it shocked us into realising that we are now beginning to accept the language of murder without batting an eyelid. This is a salutary lesson for all of us...

Seanad: Good Friday Agreement: Motion. (19 May 2004)

Shane Ross: ...to say. I heard him yesterday on "Morning Ireland" when he went as far as anybody in a position of great authority to say that Gerry Adams and others like him were still and had been members of the IRA. The scenario he painted today was depressing, although I am not sure I share his ultimate conclusions. What the Minister is saying is that it is up to the IRA or what he generously terms...

Seanad: Order of Business. (20 Nov 2002)

Shane Ross: ...Leader of the House Government policy on sending representatives. All the Members who intended to go have, in their wisdom, withdrawn because they do not want to be used as propaganda tools for the IRA. I endorse those who believe Senator White's visit is unwise.

Seanad: Northern Ireland: Statements. (20 Nov 2002)

Shane Ross: ...Norris said and be a bit more specific. There is not a single sentence which holds out the hand of friendship to the Unionists. There is not a single sentence of condemnation of Sinn Féin or the IRA. That is quite extraordinary in the present circumstances, where the Unionist people in Northern Ireland have taken what they believe is kick after kick in the stomach from the IRA. Let there...
