Seanad
‹ Order of Business Threats against the Taoiseach
Summary
Senator Mooney joins criticism of preventing a Taoiseach from attending a public function, describing it as an unprecedented and anti-democratic precedent.
I, too, share the sentiments expressed by Senator Colm Burke and my colleague, Senator Ó Domhnaill, that a very dangerous precedent has been created. In the history of the State no Taoiseach has ever been prevented from attending a public function. Such action is a disgrace and the people who engaged in such activity are not true democrats.
