Mark Ward: .... While this Bill is progressing through the Oireachtas, it would be worthwhile keeping an eye on the Citizen's Assembly on Drugs, the recommendations it arrives at and the legislation that may follow.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 May 2023)

Rónán Mullen: ..., Bakhmut is Europe's modern Somme. The thousands of young lives being sacrificed in the tunnels and streets of that place are crying to heaven for angels of peace.
