Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I wish to support the calls made for two specific debates, one of which should be on the media. Sadly, we are all aware of the many serious transgressions in recent times, where the reputations of innocent people have been tarnished and people have been seriously damaged. I hope these people exercise their legal rights in pursuance of their reputation and that we see the necessary successful actions for libel and defamation.

I support the call for a debate on the Croke Park agreement. It is a serious matter. Everything is on the table except for this, which is sacrosanct. We cannot afford that.
