Seanad debates

Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy.
It appears Mr. O'Reilly was a most avid attendee at debates in the House and spoke frequently on various matters. From what I have read, he was deeply committed to health issues. Reading what he said provides one with a picture of the period during which he served in the House. He spoke strongly about tuberculosis on three separate occasions and about wishing to secure a higher average attendance in the Seanad on a debate on the subject. That occurred over 50 years ago, which is interesting. I am not implying anything in saying this but he must have been a very good public representative and very assiduous. Moreover, he had strong views on speeding on our roads.
