He should write to his colleagues in the House of Lords, many of whom we have worked with very positively through the House of Lords Brexit committee and indeed our own Brexit committee in the Seanad, to convey our horror at what seems to be an ongoing litany of insults with a racist undertone, sometimes more overt than that, directed by Lord Kilclooney to the Taoiseach. I hope with the agreement of the House we can all share in the expression of that condemnation. The Cathaoirleach should convey the message that we are insulted, that we do not tolerate that kind of expression and that we will face it down. That message should be conveyed very strongly to the Speaker of the House of Lords and to all of his colleagues but in particular those who would express such ugly and horrible sentiments.
