David Norris (Independent)

I second the amendment of Senator Boyle on depleted uranium. It follows along the very successful role Ireland has played in terms of getting bans on cluster mines, cluster munitions landmines and so forth.

I would like to protest at the unprofessional ordering of business in this House. Once again we are meeting at a random time - 10 o'clock. We never know where we are going to go. I am not saying Seanad Éireann is a silk purse, but the Leader has displayed a remarkable talent of making a pig's ear out of it.
