Seanad debates

Thursday, 12 September 2002

For example, we need to look at the issue of international law, which underlines what Senator O'Toole was talking about, and to ensure that international law binds everybody. It binds Saddam Hussein, but it also binds those who wish to deal with what they believe to be his excesses. That is a fundamental issue which a House such as this should usefully discuss. I appeal to the Leader, who I know to be a woman with a capacity to make judgments and decisions independent of those who would advise her to be cautious, to start off in the manner in which I hope she proposes to continue by having this House in regular session to do the things which everybody thinks Parliament should be doing. That would be my appeal to her in the form of good wishes to her in her new role.
