John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

The Cathaoirleach is welcome back hale and hearty.

I too share the calls for a debate on the peace process. At this stage it is apparent that Sinn Féin is not prepared to leave behind people who continue to carry out murder or other criminal acts. It is incredible that its members can continue with the peace process on the one hand and criminality on the other hand. They have a responsibility to the republican electorate they represent to leave the criminals behind. This money has become rotten and useless because it is now no more than biodegradable fuel. The money has placed the peace process at risk and the movement is now reaping the whirlwind. It is time for it to disengage from the criminals because its members have a great responsibility to this nation and they must do so now.
