Mary White (Fianna Fail)

It is my pleasure to support Senator D'Arcy's proposal to call the bridge after the former President, Ms Mary McAleese. She had the courage to reach out across the political divide when it was unpopular to talk to the UDA and the UVF. I met Mr. Gerry Adams at a dinner in Áras an Uachtaráin during her Presidency. She had the courage to be sociable and entertain Gerry Adams in the Áras.

Something radical is happening. The unnatural coalition between an extreme right wing group and a group that is trying to be left wing-----
