It gives me no great pleasure to attack anyone and my speech is political, not personal. However, I must not pull punches. It does not give anyone great joy to speak passionately about an issue which concerns individuals, but the actions of those in question have led debate in both Houses to take this direction. Political office is an honour bestowed on us by the men, women and young adults across the 26 counties who place their faith and courage in us and elect us. With the trust they place in us comes a mandated sense of honour, but if someone proves he or she cannot be honourable and betrays the trust of those who put him or her in office, he or she does not belong in political institutions, or elected political groupings.
