Cluster Munitions and Anti-Personnel Mines Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages
1:00 pm
Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)
I support the sentiments expressed by Senator Norris in this regard. It would be our hope that this is just a starting block and that we would continue to lobby as Senator Norris has outlined. I am sure the Minister of State in his reply will indicate that the Government will continue to press ahead with a view to gaining further ground in the future. This is a very important starting block for us. I agree with Senator Norris that we should not just leave it at that. It should be the start of something new in the future as regards definitions.
