Order of Business.
10:30 am
Mary White (Fianna Fail)
A year ago, I requested on the Order of Business the purchase by the State of Lissadell House, which was an opportunity I thought in my innocence it could not miss. I recommend colleagues to visit the Adam showrooms today to look at the letter. It will be a deeply emotional experience. I would like to see the State buy the letter and display it in our wonderful museums rather than allow it to be locked away in a private home. Pearse's pain and torture are evident in the handwritten note.
