Seanad debates

Friday, 21 March 2003

I have no difficulty saying I am pro-America. I said this in the previous debate. I have greater affinity with America than with many parts of Europe, and that has not changed. Tim Pat Coogan put it exceptionally well on radio this morning when he said, "When a friend cannot stand up and make a point to a friend when they think there is an error in question, that is no friend." If we do not express what we believe at a given time, we are giving a false impression, whether to America, Britain or anyone else.
