Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I support the call for a debate on the First and Second World Wars and the Irishmen who fought in them on another occasion.

I do not need to be told to visit the grave of John Condon because I have visited it. The first pair of boots a 14-year old from Waterford ever wore was when he joined the British army. That highlights the need for the Easter Rising and why those involved gave us the freedom we enjoy today.
