However, I always drew parallels with what happened in the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution when the revolutionaries - thesans-culottes- did not destroy anything of the nobility that was left.

Paschal Mooney: ...several hundred years. It did a wonderful job at the time, but it has not been followed through since. Certainly since self-government, we seem to have neglected Dublin.

Seanad: Junior Cycle Reform: Motion (17 Jun 2015)

Paschal Mooney: I agree with Senator D'Arcy, but this will be lost. It will be destroyed, because the race for points has already resulted in an enormous drop in the number who, having studied history at junior certificate level, continue to study it at leaving certificate level.
