Don Lydon (Fianna Fail)

I also support Senator Ryan's call for a debate on the Palestinian problem. I spoke to the Prime Minister of Palestine at the weekend and I can assure the House that the Palestinians want peace and would support a two state settlement. The situation, however, is complex and, from an Israeli point of view, if the people next door want to destroy the state, there are no easy solutions. It would do no harm to debate this matter.

Before we rise for the summer, would it be possible to debate the Genealogy and Heraldry Bill 2006? This Bill has little appeal but is very important. The House would be more than willing to sit an extra few days to deal with it.
