Seanad debates
Friday, 4 July 2003
Order of Business.
Senator Hanafin referred to Independence Day, 4 July, in the United States. It is a great day for its people. It was set up to be the land of the free, with the Statute of Liberty to extend the hand of friendship and human rights to people like us who were not getting them in their own countries. It is sad to see the reverse in the land of the free. I agree with Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú's passionate plea regarding human rights in the prison in question, but nobody seems to pay any attention to the issue. Senator Phelan is in agreement with Senator Minihan regarding the young student.
