Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I understand a meeting took place and we accept it reluctantly and without wanting to set a precedent.

I strongly support the remarks of Senators Quinn and Daly with regard to the practice of removing cribs and I hope to God that it does not take hold. It is anti-Irish and is completely against our tradition and everything we have lived with all our lives. It would be a wholly unacceptable practice if it were to take hold.
