I suppose Senator Norris is well able to stand up for himself after that. It is time the Seanad debated this issue and came up with some code of conduct regarding the media and various political parties because the previous presidential election sent out the wrong signal in terms of all the candidates. No one would get involved in such an election, particularly if it were similar to the previous one.

On a more sombre note, tomorrow, 11 July, we will remember Srebrenica, which became synonymous with those dark days in 1995 when in the first ever United Nations declared safe area, thousands of men and boys were systematically murdered and buried in mass graves. The victims, predominantly Muslim, were selected for death on the basis of their identity. That was the worst atrocity on European soil since the Second World War. We should remember what happened in Srebrenica in 1995, which must never happen again. I hope we will remember it.
