Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-23
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

I simply will not take any lectures from Sinn Féin. For the record, I always opposed section 31. Probably at the very outset, it might have been needed but it kept going on and on and it was impossible. The problem we had the last number of years, until lately when Sinn Féin was found out, is that we could not get its members off the airwaves.
