Seanad debates

Order of Business.
I ask that time be made available for a discussion about disbanding paramilitaries on both sides. In this regard, a signal should go out from this House. I ask that the Government take on such a motion. A young man was crucified by Orange thugs in the North. In another situation a young man was beaten up very badly in south Armagh for refusing to pay protection money to the IRA. We must be even-handed in our attitude. This House should send out a signal that this kind of behaviour is not tolerable in the afterlight of the agreements that came about.
