Joe O'Toole (Independent)

I apologise, we will agree on speaking times. I thank the Leader for putting these debates on the Order Paper as requested the last time we met. It is a good indication of how we can look forward to doing business for the remainder of this term.

I agree completely with the suggestions of Senator Hayes. With the publication of the Flood report and the extraordinary developments in Northern Ireland I am conscious that much has changed in the last month. We have always said we need to be careful about the statements we make on issues.
