Maurice Hayes (Independent)

I would like to be associated with the tributes to Archbishop Eames, whom I have known since he was a curate. In all that time he has maintained remarkable consistency in supporting peace, the resolution of conflict, dignity and human rights. He is a person who provided real leadership in Northern Ireland in very difficult times. He is a real pastor, not only to his own flock but to the wider community. Northern Ireland is richer for his having been there but will be poorer once he retires. We must wish him well.

Could the Leader clarify the position regarding Europe Day and the House's involvement in it? We should be deeply involved in this event.
