Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)

I support the call for a debate on Northern Ireland with the Taoiseach as soon as possible. Will the Leader ask the Taoiseach to bring the SDLP centre stage once more? The party is the moderate voice of Nationalists in Northern Ireland and it has been central to the peace process from the beginning. It is important that its voice is heard again as we approach the final step. The Taoiseach should bring it back centre stage from the sidelines where it has been for the past 12 months or so.
