Northern Ireland: Statements.

 

The decommissioning scenario sickens me too, but the Minister of State made the interesting point that decades ago a Dáil met in this building to which people carried arms and though it was not liked, people closed their eyes to it. We have outgrown those days, as have many other emerging Parliaments around the globe. I am not saying that we should condone or welcome such a thing, but our strong feelings and the need to express them should not be a block to progress.
