Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I support the remarks of Senator Brian Hayes and others who called for calm on Saturday during the May Day celebrations. As a resident of the Castleknock area adjacent to Farmleigh, I must express concern at the level of security in the form of razor wire which has been erected around Farmleigh and other places, although I am not sure whether it will extend to the entire boundary of the Phoenix Park. I wrote to the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Parlon, to which I have not had a response, asking him whether the razor wire will be removed following the meeting on Saturday. I had to fight very hard to ensure that razor wire was removed after the visit of the Chinese premier. Therefore, I want the Minister of State to guarantee that all of that razor wire will be removed following this weekend's events.
