Mark Daly (Fianna Fail)

When he addressed the Dáil in 1963, he quoted the following from George Bernard Shaw:

Some people see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not?

We should remember the principles of the first Dáil today as we try to find a way to give all of the children of the nation the opportunity to pursue the happiness to which they are entitled. It is a reflection on this and the other House that the events I describe will go unmarked.
