Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I also support Senator Brian Hayes in seeking a system that could be used when we are trying to make representations on behalf of families of prisoners, taking into account the sensitivities surrounding such issues. I compliment Mrs. Lynch on the way she handled the situation. I studied her comments and she had a holistic approach to the issue. She was hurt, yet she was able to manage that hurt in an intelligent manner. She treated the Minister of State, Deputy Killeen, with sensitivity. I know him well and he still hurting very much. The way it happened was unfortunate. There, but for the grace of God, go any of us. All of us could be in that position without realising the implications in those circumstances.
