Order of Business

Ivana Bacik (Independent)
It is up to individual businesses, organisations, agencies and families whether they want to have cribs. It is entirely a matter for them and I do not hear anyone demanding that a crib be removed from any place. As somebody who was brought up Catholic but is now an atheist, I am delighted to see how much celebration there is of Christmas and how much Christmas has become an inclusive event and not only a Christian event. I am delighted to see celebration and festivity. We need it at this time.
