Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

It is not unbelievable. I am telling the Senator the truth. That is the situation. I can understand the request for a debate on Northern Ireland. I believe great progress was made this week in the talks and I was very pleased to hear both the Minister, Deputy McDowell, and the Taoiseach say that. A debate at this point would not be appropriate but I will think about it.

Senator Terry, the Minister and all our Members made interesting contributions to the debate last night.
