John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

I would like to reiterate that I abhor all the findings in the Ryan report. I welcome the fact there appears to be some recognition among a large number of the religious institutions that they will actually try to do more. I hope the debate is conducted in a proper manner in this House. I trust we will not be hearing dúirt bean liom go ndúirt bean léi, hearsay evidence presented. We have a report and it should be dealt with as the reported findings. I call for balanced and proper debate on an extremely frightening and upsetting report with which we must deal.

I wish to raise the issue of North Korea. For the first time this morning I heard that should the South Koreans search ships leaving the North Korean area, something they indicated they would do, North Korea was prepared to go to war. This is a very serious development and I ask the Leader for a debate.
