Selected quotations from the day's proceedings.
Last year I asked whether the Government had decided to sign and ratify the optional protocol to the United Nations Convention Against Torture . . . Is the Taoiseach in a position to say whether Ireland will be signing the optional protocol in the current Dáil session?
- Michael D Higgins, Labour
I will have to come back to the deputy on that. I hope we will be signing it since we are against torture, but I will check for the deputy.
- Taoiseach Bertie Ahern
We are not against it on the M50.
- Labour leader Pat Rabbitte
