Address by President of the European Parliament.

Michael Finucane (Fine Gael)

I join Members in tributes to Mr. Cox. I have heard him on radio recently and been impressed by his contributions because he has usually been joined by people from the "No" side but refrained from using some of the emotive language used at the beginning of the campaign to describe "No" voters as xenophobic, racist or dingbats. It is that type of rhetoric which alienates people and drives them into the "No" lobby because they will not be talked down to in such a manner.
