I sympathise with the issue raised by Senator Ó Clochartaigh of the McCabe family in Northern Ireland. Any decent person must express concern about a terrorist attack.

Hear, hear. Well said.

If we want to put it in context, 20 years ago another McCabe family on this island suffered a grievous moment of terror when a family member and a loved member of the Garda was slaughtered in the line of duty. At the time, it would have to be said, there was not very much concern - there was neither empathy nor sympathy - from Sinn Féin. Matters have moved on and progressed since. There is no need to engage in debate.

Senator Bradford seems to be stuck in the past. He has not really moved on, has he?

To look to the future, we can never forget the past. We can never forget the losses, the pain, the hurt and the suffering. I am surprised-----

Senator Bradford-----

On all sides.

-----without interruption.
