Troy eases others’ anxiety by speaking honestly about his own

Fianna Fail TD Robert Troy has spoken eloquently and openly in the Dáil about his anxiety, writes Fergus Finlay

FOR a number of years now, Robert Troy has been the Fianna Fáil spokesman on children. Although in opposition, he was one of the leading advocates for the Children’s Rights referendum. There was much objection to that referendum, and it was hard-fought and divisive.

But Troy never wavered in his support for it, although there must have been moments when it seemed more advantageous to be against it.
