Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I support the proposal relating to the atrocity in Madrid. I ask the Leader of the House to convey to the leader of the Upper House in Spain our deepest regrets. I have visited Madrid, which is a beautiful city. It is a scandal that the peace-loving Spanish people have been affected in this manner.

I mentioned to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform my view that it would be wrong to have a referendum on 11 June and to confuse the issue with the European and local elections.
