Great Speeches and a great speech about the emigrants that left Ireland with cardboard suitcases
Posted on June 21, 2010
Was looking at the Oireachtas Website the other day and found a little gem on it, for those that like myself, like looking back through the historical debates.

Remembrance at Derry
Posted on June 08, 2010
This picture shows me in a parade at the Diamond in Londonderry/Derry to commerate the role of Irish people, nationalist and unionist, that fought and died in the first world war in the battlefields of Europe. I attended the event on behalf of the Irish Labour Party. The picture shows Glen Barr O.B.E., Chief Executive of the International School of Peace Studies, and alongside him myself, Pat Ramsey M.L.A., John Green who is grandson of the late John Redmond and great nephew of Maj. Willie Redmond, and David Clarty M.L.A.
