Brendan Ryan (Labour)

The Leader would be sitting in my place.

We like to discuss many things that happen in the world. There is something particularly offensive about the Chairman of the Palestinian Authority being refused permission to attend mass in Bethlehem on Christmas Day. I suggest that the leaders of all the groups in the House sign a motion to be passed without debate tomorrow morning calling on the Israeli Government to reverse that decision. It is a simple request. Most people agree that the decision was wrong. I ask that the Leader consider the introduction of such a motion today, with a view to voting on it tomorrow. It does not matter if there is not full agreement on it.
