I welcome the Taoiseach's visit to the UN and signal our ongoing support of the UN. Who in the Government will signal our disapproval of President Trump's comments yesterday in his UN speech? I do not know if the Taoiseach has had the chance to see it yet but the level of bellicose and threatening content was beyond belief. It would have been laughable in its arrogance if it were not so worrying in its intent. What is the diplomatic approach and how can we comment on that? Will the Taoiseach comment on it? He may not have had the chance to hear it so if the Taoiseach does not comment on it today, will the State, in the form of the Tánaiste or the Taoiseach, make some response to what was said? I ask the Taoiseach to listen to the comments and revert with a suitable response.
