Paul Bradford (Fine Gael)

The Leader should arrange a debate as soon as possible on Northern Ireland. There have been ten, 12 or 15 days of talks now, but I have no doubt that the problem will be resolved. Such progress has been made since 1994 that there is no going back. For the future, however, we must examine culture, emblems, flags and sectarianism anew and re-engage with our friends and neighbours on the other side of the Border and they with us. This House can play a leading role in that regard.
