Mary White (Fianna Fail)

I feel personally responsible as a spokesperson for the Government in the Seanad on older people. I want to hear what the Minister has to say about her vision for older people so as to regain their confidence.

Sitting in the church yesterday morning felt like when the candlelight masses were held on Wednesday mornings in Leipzig and big cities in the former East Germany calling for the wall to be brought down, the emotion was so high. No one can criticise what happened or was said there unless he or she was sitting there.
