Seanad debates

Order of Business.
Senator Minihan is not here to defend himself against the remarks made about him. I will say this. I saw one television programme which purported to be a report on what took place at the games and, in fact, gave a platform for one person to make a political speech. I am of the view that sport and politics do not mix. While I know this is naive in the modern world, I still think it is a reasonable proposition, one that might be a headline in this case where every other aspect of what is true about the Olympic spirit is being upheld.
