Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I have no intention of withdrawing my remarks. It is an impression that I have come to from listening to the debates on this issue in the House. I ask the Opposition to put this above party politics. This is an issue that must be dealt with in the interests of the Irish people and those of immigrants and non-nationals. I ask that it be approached in a way, which will ensure no racist tendencies are prompted to pollute the debate on this issue.
