Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

Further to Senator Quinn's point, I resent the actions of the UK Independence Party and Mr. Nigel Farage in particular. The party's avowed aim is to withdraw from the European Union and basically to destroy it. It is making efforts to influence the electorate into voting "No" on 2 October which is against the best interests of the Irish people. These are the people who want to stop immigration and want a white Britain. They are interfering with our campaign and I fully agree with Senator Quinn that an immediate investigation is needed of their activities. If anyone needed a reason to vote "Yes", it is that the UK Independence Party wants us to vote "No". It is an anti-Irish and anti-Europe party composed of a discredited bunch of individuals. Liam Cosgrave, the former Taoiseach, would have something to say, and a famous speech he made in May 1977 could apply-----
