Seanad: Situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Statements (19 Oct 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...the face of the earth. It was not the Israelis who unravelled the Camp David and Oslo Accords. We know in Ireland the futility of violence. We had our own Hamas in Ireland. We had the Provisional IRA here for 30 years bombing and killing women and children indiscriminately, but we had people, such as Hume and Mallon, who were prepared to stand up and bring these gunmen to their senses....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Oct 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...attended the launch last night of Rough Beast, the story of Máiría Cahill and Sinn Féin, in Hodges Figgis last night. It is a compelling account of her treatment at the hands of the Provisional IRA's kangaroo court system of justice. It was a very well-attended event with representation from almost all the main political groupings in these Houses. This would not be...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Nov 2021)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...are the people who affected profound change in the North. We are at a time when, unfortunately, there are people in these Houses who will still try to justify the murder campaign of the Provisional IRA. Indeed, the leader of one of the largest parties in these Houses continues to justify the murder campaign of the IRA.It is important to reflect on the fact that people like Austin Currie...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2021)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...fact, prove disastrous. I ask the people who are agitating for a border poll to think about what they are doing and its consequences. Do they want a return to what we had to endure at the hands of the IRA and Provisional IRA paramilitary murder gangs, the loyalist murder gangs and, indeed, the British army?

Seanad: Political Donations: Motion (11 Nov 2020)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...believe it. Sinn Féin wants to subvert this State. It has tried to do so time and time again. I am old enough to remember when Jack Lynch and Des O'Malley had to have round-the-clock protection because of death threats to them from Sinn Féin-IRA.That was not all that long ago. Senator McDowell spoke eloquently about what the Good Friday Agreement had given us - thankfully, a...

Seanad: Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland: Statements (27 Mar 2019)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...on all sides, and as the Minister has said, there is no hierarchy in loss of life. Every life is precious. Every bereavement was special, whether someone was killed by the British Army, by the IRA or by loyalist paramilitaries; death is a death. I live in County Kerry, which is probably as far away from the North as one can get. I had no first-hand experience other than what I saw on...

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Oct 2018)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...edition of The Irish Times. It includes an interview with Mary Casey of Inniskeen, County Monaghan, regarding the death of her father, Johnny, in a tragic appalling murderous act carried out by the IRA on August 22, 1972, when it exploded a bomb at a Border crossing in Newry. The explosion resulted in the deaths of eight people, including Mary's father, who was an innocent lorry driver...

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Oct 2018)

Ned O'Sullivan: Is the Senator supporting that wrong? Is he supporting that incident in question where the IRA killed eight people?

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Dec 2017)

Ned O'Sullivan: .... I have often witnessed gardaí facing down groups of violent young men on the streets, merely through their presence, calmness and coolness. We know they are now faced with gun crime on the widest scale seen since the Provisional IRA decided it was in the wrong. Only for this the Garda would face a double attack, but the attack now is organised as opposed to political crime. I...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2016)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...the corner in the fight against crime in one of our major cities is the greatest tribute that could be paid to the memory of the great late Jerry McCabe, who was cruelly and foully murdered by the IRA 20 years ago this year. I commend Senator O'Donnell's motion on the Brexit issue. I think it would be very timely if we were to tackle this in the Seanad. It is great to see Mr. Hollande...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Feb 2015)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...are very proud of our Army, both commissioned officers and enlisted men. It is time the Minister for Defence came to the House to explain the reason our Army has been reduced so much. I know the Provisional IRA has gone out of action, hopefully for good, but there are other elements that are not, the Continuity IRA, Real IRA and other IRAs. One only realises the value of the Defence...

Ned O'Sullivan: ...Germany and the Blueshirts would win in Ireland. The Government of the time needed to deal with that serious effort at subverting democracy. It also needed to deal with the subversion of the so-called IRA, which was collaborating with the Germans-----

Seanad: An Bille um an Dara Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Deireadh a Chur le Seanad Éireann) 2013: Céim an Choiste - Thirty-second Amendment of the Constitution (Abolition of Seanad Éireann) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (10 Jul 2013)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...this debate. I was speaking about the danger to democracy and how a previous Government, under the leadership of Éamon de Valera, also had to contend with a subversive organisation, the so-called IRA. It spent the Second World War collaborating and playing funny games with the Germans and raided the Magazine Fort in the Phoenix Park. The organisation also brought German spies into...

Seanad: An Bille um an Dara Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Deireadh a Chur le Seanad Éireann) 2013: An Dara Céim (Atógáil): An Dara Céim (Atógáil) - Thirty-second Amendment of the Constitution (Abolition of Seanad Éireann) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed): Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2013)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...was made by a man who became party leader to subvert the Government of the day, and had it not been for the resoluteness of de Valera's Government in tackling the Blueshirt threat and the threat of the IRA at the same time, we might not be debating the merits of either House today. In the main, Fine Gael is responsible but that strange gene has come back in the form of the Taoiseach's...
