Callely quotes Bible in his swan song

THE controversial Senator Ivor Callely has turned to the Bible after the Seanad agreed to appeal a High Court judgment on his suspension over expense claims.

“The truth will set you free,” Mr Callely proclaimed in what he said was his last-ever speech in the Upper House.

He was speaking as the Seanad agreed to appeal a High Court ruling which overturned a decision to suspend him from the House last July.
