Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I also wish to refer to a Deputy from the same party as the Acting Chairman. I read Deputy O'Donnell's speech in full. It attracted almost as much publicity as the Ferns Report. The media seemed to love it, or else they are in love with the Deputy. Her speech was an opportunistic cheap shot from the safety of the leafy liberal suburbs. It was riddled with inaccuracies and some outlandish statements. The Deputy certainly does not know her recent history. I am sure Senator Mansergh could give me the date we had the referendum which formally spelled out the special position of the Catholic Church.
