Seanad debates

Friday, 21 March 2003

Many in this House and in this country will, no doubt, disagree with my views. I respect those opposing views when offered sincerely and not for selfish, political and opportunistic reasons. I am surprised and disappointed by the position adopted Fine Gael. Its idea of proactive foreign policy is to withdraw the use of Shannon from our friend, the US, so as not to antagonise North Korea. Is this the view of a responsible alternative Taoiseach? Is this the party which has a tradition of the responsible conduct of foreign policy in Government? I fear it is not.
