Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

We may need to appoint an officer to look after animal life around the precinct.

I endorse what Senators Hayes and Ó Murchú said about the agreement reached in Derry though we cannot disguise the fact that in other parts of the North where the balance of forces is different there are still serious problems, as we saw in the Ardoyne. Every community has events to commemorate, whether it be Bloody Sunday or the hunger strikes. It is easy to be rigorously moralistic but if we want peace we must leave some space for people to move on.
