Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

We have never been anything other than even-handed and proper in our position with regard to Palestine and to suggest that we are being improper now or at any stage is grossly incorrect. It is unfair to all parties of all political colours. I must be clear in this regard. If the Senator takes the time, when he gets the opportunity, to take the opinion of the Palestinian representative who is present in the House, he might reflect that Ireland is still a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause.
