Seanad debates

Thursday, 3 April 2003

Will the Leader draw to the attention of the Minister for Education and Science the evidence in a trial that led to the conviction of two young men who brutally assaulted in an unprovoked way an unfortunate and decent young man and killed him? The comment made was, "There's a queer from Knocklyon, let's get him." I do not think there is anything to suggest that this young man was gay but that shows us some of the attitudes involved. It is terribly important to get some kind of message into schools that this kind of outrage against a minority group is intolerable.
