As I came out of Croke Park following the International Eucharistic Congress, I saw an army of young people handing out anti-abortion leaflets. My reaction was that it is the only way they are going to get their message across, because I do not find them succeeding in getting their message across in the media. I was also delighted that it was young people doing this work, and there were no tired and weary images which we sometimes see shown on television when an anti-abortion issue is raised. I hope this House, the status we enjoy and the power that goes with the Oireachtas, will not be marshalled to prevent the voice being heard of those who are anti-abortion.
