Seanad debates

Order of Business.
2:30 pm
David Norris (Independent)
Yes. The Leader, who is a decent and humane person, referred to the photograph of President Bush and the child. I would like to refer to the other photograph in the Irish Independent today of a 12 year old Iraqi boy whose entire family was obliterated by a cluster bomb. He is now left scarred, burnt and with two stumps instead of arms. If we have any decency, we will discuss this today. We must discuss it unless we shame ourselves. I am, of course, forcing this issue to a vote and I will continue to speak after the vote if we do not get the debate I insist upon.
Amendment put: "That No. 11, motion No. 28, be taken before No. 1".
