Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

Fairness must be part of any presentation of the facts, but that is lacking across the board. Fairness is something we should all be mindful of in the future. I support the point made by Senator Hannigan about overseas aid. I understand it must be cut back due to domestic problems, but I hope that by 2012 we will reach the United Nations target of 0.7% of GNI. I would push for that and I ask the Leader to ensure we endorse that by 2012.

Many issues have been raised this morning that can be raised during our next debate. We have a golden opportunity to air those points, whether third level fees, job creation, training, return to work, reform of institutions, the press or whatever. I welcome the opportunity to listen to what people will have to say during that debate.
