I asked last week for a short debate on Northern Ireland policy. We are aware of ongoing efforts on the part of our democratically elected Government and the British Government in attempting to bring the parties forward in their deliberations. Tomorrow is still a good time to hold such a debate. I find it disappointing that our democratically elected Government continues to haggle over words with an illegal organisation that has been responsible for murder and mayhem on this island for the past 40 years. Let this matter be brought to an end, let our people be freed of the tyranny of the IRA and their murder gangs and let there be support for our Government as it takes a firm stance against the IRA and every other illegal outfit in this country. It is time the IRA was confined to history.
