Aontaím go mór leis na tuairimí a nocht an Seanadóir ansin. Ar mhaith le haon chomhalta eile ó Shinn Féin aon rud eile a rá?

I appreciate the points the Senator makes and their thrust is very important. There is a technical problem but that need not worry us. If we have to pass a motion, in theory we technically need to have three days' notice from a member. However, if we go with the spirit of what we are saying, and if we can have a meeting next week and put that down, we can take up the issues in the interim. We should look for active involvement and participation with the political systems and the Government here and in the North to push this forward immediately in the interim in order to find a way to break that impasse. Clearly, if there is a political problem, it has to be addressed politically, and we should articulate and support changing that in any way we can.
