Seanad Éireann · 2022-11-24
Party shown is the one held on 2022-11-24, frozen at parse time — not the speaker's party today.
I move: That Seanad Éireann recognises the Holodomor (inflicting death by starvation) of 1932-1933 as a genocide on the Ukrainian people and on its 90th anniversary on 26th November, 2022 we show our solidarity with Ukraine in commemorating this man-made famine which was inflicted on the Ukrainian people by the deliberate policies of the totalitarian Stalinist regime which resulted in millions of innocent lives being lost. I thank all the Members who spoke on this important issue of genocide 90 years ago, in which millions of innocent Ukrainian men, women and children died needlessly due to a policy inflicted by a larger neighbour.
We remember them today as we approach the 90th anniversary. I thank the ambassador for being here for the taking of this motion.
Built by scoring every sentence in the debate on how distinctive its language is, then quoting the highest-scoring ones back word for word and in the order spoken. Nothing is paraphrased or invented — if a sentence appears here, it was said in the chamber. Drawn from 67 words across 3 contributions by 3 speakers.
How often each word appears across the whole debate, ranked by how distinctive it is to this debate rather than common to all parliamentary language.
All 3 contributions, start to finish, in the order they were made. The one you came here for is highlighted.
I move:

I second the motion.
I welcome the Ukrainian ambassador.

We remember them today as we approach the 90th anniversary. I thank the ambassador for being here for the taking of this motion.
