Order of Business

Mark Daly (Fianna Fail)
I agree with Senator Quinn regarding the removal of cribs from shops and hospitals. As a republic, it is our job to welcome visitors and to respect their traditions and cultures but I also hope they respect ours. The replacement and removal of cribs at Christmas time is akin to taking Christ out of Christmas. Where that happens, he is being replaced by the new god of materialism, which is a road we do not want to go down and it is political correctness gone too far.
