Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Wally Kirwan, H.E. Dr. Eamonn McKee and Dr. Martin Mansergh (19 Jan 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I wish to make a point I forgot earlier. I will do so quickly, because I do not wish to eat into the time.

I am also...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: It is ironic, and I say this somewhat in jest, given that point that it is the unionists who are staying out of government at the minute, in terms of respect for the system of government in the North. I am just making that point.

Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (16 Dec 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Like Senator Boyhan, I am conscious of the time of day and the time of year. I am sure everybody, including the new officeholders, will want to get out the gap.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Gerry Adams (15 Dec 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I have two questions and the second is one that I have consistently asked different witnesses during these hearings with the architects of the peace process. The first goes back slightly to the issue of reconciliation. That is one of the outstanding issues of the agreement, which Mr. Adams has touched on and which we deal with week in, week out in terms of implementation. How important is...
