Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

I was glad to note that this motion was to be brought before the House, particularly when I saw that the names of Senators Norris and Henry were attached to it. They have been exceptionally forthright exponents of human rights in this House. We needed people to express the views which they expressed at various times to ensure that such matters were the subject of open and proper debate. I think Senators will agree that my views on the bigger question of the war in Iraq have been on the record from the first days of the invasion of that country.
