Seanad Éireann transcripts

Well I am doing the Analysis of the Civil Partnerships Bill transcripts from 2004 in the Seanad. As Usual there are some gems in the convos which the transcripers have collated.

"Mr Quinn: I thank Senator Norris for initiating this debate. It is valuable and has opened my eyes to many questions and challenges I had not thought of previously. It is not over, it will go on. There is a little bit of Latin I love to drop in and it is seldom I have a chance to do so —obesa non iam contava, the fat lady has not sung yet.

Dr. Henry: I hope the Senator was not talking about me.

Mr. Norris: I think it may have been me."
