EU Presidency: Statements, Questions and Answers (Resumed)
1:00 am
Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)
It would be appropriate to fly the flag of every European Union member state on Merrion Street for the duration of the Presidency, as displayed in the hall of Leinster House during the week. It is an important image for the leaders of other countries who come here because they like to see their country's flag flying. They will be flown in Dublin Castle, but it is important that they are flown in Parliament also.
There should be some link with schools in terms of writing essays on what the European Union means to students. Perhaps there should also be a competition.
