If the Ceann Comhairle wishes to complain, that is fine.

It was noticeable that many world leaders did not turn up at the UN. Does the Taoiseach agree this was regrettable? Can he explain the reluctance on the part of world leaders to take the problem of AIDS seriously? As the Taoiseach is aware, it is a major problem which has devastated Africa. Is it the case that such leaders simply bury their heads in the sand?
