Seanad debates
Thursday, 13 November 2003
Address by Ms Mary Banotti, MEP.
The issue of stem cell research is a topical example. It is a controversial and anguishing issue. I heard Deputy Gay Mitchell speaking on the radio about it this morning. He made the justifiable point that it was not discussed in the Committee on European Affairs. He is right to be annoyed about it. I suppose I can be braver in what I say because I am not running again for election but when dealing with issues such as this, I have suffered as a politician over the years from the type of black and white debates they always generate.
