Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

I ask the Leader to intervene with the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to accept the fair-minded amendments proposed by this side of the House.

I reiterate my comments of yesterday and call for a debate on the Saville report. As one who has a deep interest in what happened on Bloody Sunday, I pay tribute to the families of those who died and were injured on that awful day for Irish society. Yesterday, as Senator O'Toole rightly said, was a day we learned about the need to have an independent judiciary. This should always be the case. I welcomed the report yesterday. Importantly, the British Prime Minister, Mr. David Cameron, showed himself to be a real leader yesterday by his remarks in the House of Commons. The report banishes the Widgery report and, more importantly, promotes civil and human rights and shows we should all be proud in standing up for them.
