Foreign Conflicts: Motion.
Senator Ryan referred to the coalition Government telling Reagan what it thought of his policies in the early 1980s. That is utterly incorrect. My recollection is quite different. I was in Buswell's Hotel addressing a meeting of those opposed to Reagan's foreign policy while that Government was entertaining him and allowed him to address both Houses across the road. Neither the Minister of State nor I was a Member of the Oireachtas at the time, although I suspect he was on the street outside the Houses.
