Seanad debates

Order of Business.
I feel strongly that we should have a debate on the post-war role of the EU and the UN. One's views and comments can so often be distorted. We are all genuinely glad that the war is over but the fear now concerns what is to happen next. Coupled with the scenes from Iraq shown on television this morning were scenes from Afghanistan, which is entirely riven by dissent, apart from a very small area in the centre of the capital city, Kabul. A party of occupation, which is what the American and British forces are, is not the right conduit for aid and for setting up a proper administration run by the Iraqi people themselves.
