John Minihan (Progressive Democrats)

Senator Ryan raised the serious issue of the use of white phosphorous in the war in Iraq. This point was supported by a number of other speakers, including Senators Ó Murchú, Jim Walsh and Mansergh. Everybody knows the position I took on the Iraq war but I support the comments made on this issue. One of the main reasons for going to war was the potential use of chemical weapons and now we find that this substance is being used, which is highly inappropriate. Yesterday, the Leader of the House undertook to urge the Government to protest in the strongest fashion and I fully support that.
