Brendan Ryan (Labour)

I had only started, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, before I was interrupted. All I said was that I did not say there were prisoners being transported but that the Government took the word of a person who is proven to tell untruths. The Minister said her word was reason was believe the US Government. We know it is not true and should not be trusted. Ireland is now in an isolated minority in that 70% of the people of the United States disapprove of what its Government is doing, and both Houses of Congress have voted on a timetable for withdrawal. We have walked ourselves into this matter.
