AIB sale and Jadotville support
Several Senators seconded and defended amendments on the AIB sale and Jadotville medals, arguing the House should debate both issues properly. Senator Norris added a brief aside about his own background before the Chair thanked him for his brevity.
The Senator is good at that himself.

Here are billions that are available and yet it looks as if the Fine Gael Party is intent, with its rightward drift, on ensuring none of those projects will be fulfilled. We hear the issue of the M20 motorway quite rightly being raised again today. I would hope that, in the interests of recognising that this House has a role to play in debating this, we would have a debate on it. Frankly, it would be disgraceful if this did not happen today.

I do not need to speak. I was just going to second the Sinn Féin amendment on Jadotville, but that has already been done. I should say that I was going to do so as a native of the Belgian Congo.
