Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

I support what Senator Cummins said in calling for a further debate on the four year plan. We should also discuss some of the reaction to the four year plan, in particular the call made by the Technical, Engineering and Electrical Union for a campaign of civil disobedience against the plan. That is very much worthy of discussion in the House because any form of protest, including peaceful protest, or people coming together, as is going to happen later in the week is a right. We recognise and welcome that, but stepping over that line to encourage civil disobedience against the State at this stage sends out a very dark and worrying signal.
