On Tuesday, when I asked the Dáil to postpone this motion which is on the Agenda to-day, I had hoped that developments would have taken place in the South which would have an important bearing on this Resolution. I am sorry to say that the situation is the same to-day as it was on Tuesday, and consequently I think it better, in the interests of peace, to withdraw the motion on the Agenda because I think speeches, for or against it, might retard rather than advance peace. Consequently I withdraw the motion. Of course that does not mean that the proposals or hopes for peace are abandoned.
