Rónán Mullen (Independent)

The Minister recently, when giving a speech at which I was present, mentioned Mao Tse Tung by way of passing quotation without any sense of how inappropriate that was. Were she to have quoted Hitler, Mussolini or another cruel totalitarian dictator people would have quite legitimately asked questions. People need to be careful about pointing fingers in general. I hope and share the cause for an early discussion on the Mahon report.
