Order of Business - 18th May 2005

Mr. Norris: I again ask for a debate on Iraq.
New material emerges all the time. As I pre
dicted, the Senate committee in America came up
against the shattering force of the truth as told in
a blistering fashion by George Galloway and it
produced the usual weary old tired, forged documents.
It could not even get the date sequence
right. It was an astonishing performance but it
clearly vindicated Mr. Galloway and exposed the
Senate committee. It would be no harm if we continued
to have a rolling debate on this issue.
It is astonishing that there have been approximately
eight or nine killings in the past month.
One would be safer in Chicago these days. This
is part of the inheritance of what is cosily called
the "republican community". This is a taint that
was brought in - the guns, explosives and the
drugs. We know exactly where to look to find
from were this kind material came.
In a way, my next point leads on from that.
Many people have come to the House to talk to
us, including distinguished people of various
kinds. We have listened to their pious aspirations
for this, that and the other, including the European
Union and whatnot. Would it not be a good
idea to invite the McCartney sisters to give evidence
to Seanad E´ ireann on the murder of their
brother and the way in which they were intimidated
by the Provisional IRA and Sinn Fein?
An Cathaoirleach: That is a matter for the
Committee on Procedure and Privileges.
Mr. Norris: I ask that it be referred to the Committee
on Procedure and Privileges.
An Cathaoirleach: There is no procedure for
such a——
Mr. Norris: I think I have found one.
