Seanad debates
Wednesday, 9 October 2002
Sub-Committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion.
I could have raised many other matters on the Order of Business. I raised one regarding a terrible tragedy some years ago when a young woman was murdered and her two children drowned in a particular part of the country. Within two days, before those people were laid to rest, sections of the media speculated on the relationship between the husband and the wife. It was outrageous sensationalism. We should have been able to have informed debate to bring stability and sensitivity back into such a case. We can do that.
