Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

I praised him in the House many times for doing so. I hardly think he is doing this without a nod and a wink from within officialdom. It is vital we continue to take a stand to arrive at a proper peace with justice, as we have achieved in Northern Ireland.

One of the reasons we hear so little about it currently is because we are in the throes of a presidential election in America. It is a pity that so many hundreds more people will be killed before that election is over and any progress is made. I wish Jimmy Carter the best of luck because I have no doubt in my mind that if we face this issue with courage, in the same way as we did in the North of Ireland, bringing all the involved parties into the equation, there is some hope of success.
