I support Senator Coffey's call for a debate on the Spirit of Ireland proposal. I too have called for a specific debate on that proposal. I congratulate Senator Butler on organising the briefing on it. Like Senator Coffey, I believe this concept has tremendous potential, not least because at a time when serious questions are being asked about Ireland at home and abroad in terms of how we manage ourselves, what a boost to our morale it would be if we could be seen to come up with an answer to the challenges we face. This is the type of creative thinking Ireland needs at this time. The matter deserves specific debate in the Seanad and I urge the Leader to organise such a debate at an early date.
