Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I support the views outlined by Senator Brian Hayes and others on the situation in the North. So much has been achieved that we must not allow the hope justifiably built in both communities to be diminished. The current situation is a slight, faltering step which will be, as other speakers said, corrected in a matter of days. We must be patient a little longer. We should leave the timing of such a debate, which will shortly be appropriate, to the Leader.
