Yes. Can we have some ethical standards in public life? The Government should not use this technique of leaking damaging material about people every time they criticise the Government. People have a right to criticise it. I doubt if the Taoiseach would be delighted if he was put in charge of half a dozen hospitals, as one person was, and from one day to the next their salary was cut in half. I would not enjoy it, but maybe other people would.

I would like to comment further on an issue I raised last week, namely, the apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis.

The Senator is already over time.

There is such a vision in this that I would certainly have changed my position. If anybody wants to propose consideration of the re-opening of the embassy in the Vatican I will heartily support it because I think there is so much good radiating from this man and, to be selfish, so many diplomatic contexts that would be very useful for this country. I believe it would be a very good signal of renewal.

The Senator might join it.

I will not. I am in the one true church.
