Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I ask the Ceann Comhairle to allow me to conclude. This was indicated at the Whips' meeting as something that could be done in the event of a critical, emergency issue presenting. For women the length and breadth of this State, the revelation so bravely brought to public attention by the Redmond family certainly merits address in this House today and tomorrow.

There is also the situation where we have had Irish citizens hijacked at sea by the so-called Israeli defence forces - hardly defence forces in this particular instance.
