Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

This matter inevitably creates a great deal of emotion and when one becomes emotional, one suspends one's critical faculties, particularly in political debate. Great sincerity and an extremely high moral tone have been mustered by the Labour Party. I find it somewhat ironic that Senator Ryan should adopt such a tone in the presence of a Minister, Deputy McDowell, who has honed a similar tone over a long period of time.
