I seek a debate on women in politics. I was totally against quotas and believed women should get here on their merits. However, in the Nordic countries they gave up after having a debate for 25 years on quotas.

The most important debate called for today is the publication of the Cloyne report. It is a very important day. I asked for a debate on all the reports published, including the Ryan report and the Cloyne report. Television time should be given to it. It is such an important matter that we should concentrate on it. We should analyse all of reports, find out the recommendations, see how many have been implemented and then do our own report on what action should be taken, who has fallen down and where they have fallen down. That is the most important issue on the agenda today.
