Regina Doherty, Leader of Seanad Éireann, was speaking after an online event commemorating an IRA bomber, which was supported by Sinn Féin and due to take place last night, was cancelled. Edward O’Brien was killed after a bomb he was carrying detonated on a bus in London 25 years ago, injuring several people.
