Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I thank Senators who have had the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I note the interest others have had in making a contribution. It is timely that the Seanad should debate this subject when there is an intensive national debate in progress on the issue. Senator White referred to the children of the nation. The children of the nation in the 1916 Proclamation included adults as well as infants.
