Non-Fatal Offences against the Person (Amendment) (Spiking) Bill 2023: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-31
============================================================

Ned O'Sullivan (CC), Labour Panel

That ends our discussion. Before moving on, I add my compliments to the young political activists in the Visitors Gallery for bringing this to the fore. Even though they are not of my persuasion, as the great poet Macaulay said, on occasions like this:
And even the ranks of Tuscany,
Could scarce forbear to cheer.
That is a Latin tag and they might want to look up that one.
