Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The Senator also brought up the advertisement for Trócaire, which I did not realise had been pulled. I know that I listened to it, and once or twice the thought occurred to me that, while it was great for Trócaire, the Catholic Church was not about to ordain female priests. It mentioned how women's lives were blighted by terrible events, but it does not open many doors to them itself. I do not know why the advertisement was withdrawn, although the Senator supposed that it was too political. However, it was certainly a good example.

It is safe to say this now that Senator Norris has left us. He then embarked upon something of a rant, although I could not get to the bottom of the exact subject. I do not know what he wanted.
