Don Lydon (Fianna Fail)

When our democracy was being formed, we had a number of assassinations which served only to highlight hatred that continued for many years. Similarly the assassination of the Serbian Prime Minister is a terrible crime. Although it may not be in order to stand as a mark of respect at the end of the Order of Business, the Seanad should send a message of sympathy to the Serbian people as they try to form their own democracy after the horrors of Slobodan Milosevic's rule.
