Treatment of journalists in East Berlin
McGahon asked whether the Taoiseach deplored journalists being prodded with electrical devices in Berlin. The Taoiseach called for support of superpower efforts to reduce tensions and disarm, and the Chair moved on to priority questions.
Is the Taoiseach aware of the events in East Germany in Berlin the other evening when journalists were prodded by electrical gadgets? Some might say that is too good for them, but does the Taoiseach deplore that attitude?
Comment on this
The efforts of all right minded people at present should be mobilised in support of what the super powers are trying to achieve, a lessening of tension and disarmament. The world, and Europe, is a much better and safer place today than it was this time last year as a result of the efforts of the two world leaders I have mentioned.
