Catherine Noone (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This is an historic and emotional time to be in the Seanad. It is an historic moment for the Houses of the Oireachtas. We have had an intense and sometimes very difficult and emotional year and a half since this process first began in the Oireachtas. I have been contemplating various matters for the past few hours but predominantly my thoughts are with Savita and with all the women who had to travel in times when our laws abandoned women in this country.

I pay tribute to Deputy Enda Kenny-----
