Every night on television after 9 p.m. we see images of the most appalling brutality and violence. Apparently, it is acceptable to show this as long as it is fiction. Listening to Robert Fisk yesterday I was struck immediately by the fact that we kept seeing a sanitised version of war. This House should debate broadcasting standards. I fully support all that has been said about RTÉ's coverage. Why is it that we never see the brutality of war in news coverage in a way that is apparently acceptable in fictionalised accounts? Is it to protect us or to ensure we do not realise what is really happening, de facto, in our name? That is all I will say on the matter.
