Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I thank Senators for their contributions to this debate so far. I thank Senator Leyden for moving the motion and Senator Hanafin for seconding it. I also thank Senators Coghlan and John Paul Phelan for their contributions. It is interesting that a congratulatory motion has evoked such a negative response. Some people are fed up of the overly condemnatory motions which have been part and parcel of adversarial politics for a long time.
