Seanad debates

Wednesday, 2 April 2003

Senator Henry called on the Taoiseach not to spend any more money on arms and supported the Irish media's reporting of the war in Iraq. This has been a recurring theme in the House when Members speak about the war. At least when one tunes in to RTE, one feels that one is getting the full story, warts and all, whereas other broadcasters produce sanitised versions, some of them outrageously so. The voices are reassuring to us because we feel we are learning about what is going on. I telephoned the man in charge of news and told him there was general support in the House for the way the Irish media are dealing with the matter.
