Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Before Senator Ó Donnghaile commences, as Cathaoirleach, and previously as Leas-Chathaoirleach and as a Member for nearly 15 years prior to that, I have chaired sittings of the Seanad and I have never been accused of being political. When I got this job, I left politics aside. Charges are made from different sides against different people. I try to be fair and perhaps I fail at times-----
