Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I have a very serious question for the Leader. I ask him to have a debate on the responsibility of our national broadcaster to provide time to debate one of the most important issues of the day. On an independent television station, the "Tonight with Vincent Browne" programme spent three nights on excellent discussions on the treaty, teasing out every issue, while RTE gave ten minutes to it this week.

I ask Senator Jimmy Harte to come to the House to apologise-----
