lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I hope that the new President will treat all Members equally. I have been indicating for quite some time – well before many people who have already spoken – that I want to make a point of order. I have two points. The first is in relation to Mr Stevenson's attack on a Belgian minister who is not here to defend herself. A personal and vitriolic attack like that is unjustified when the person is not present. Secondly, in relation to what has happened in Ireland this weekend, it is only proper that we should have a debate on this. People are focusing on the wrong aspect. It is quite clear that the fortress mentality of Europe is what is causing people to put their lives at risk, by trusting people who are trying to make a profit. We need to open up the borders instead of encouraging this kind of fortress mentality. That is the only way we are going to ensure that people do not lose their lives in such a tragic way. Dover and Wexford are only two examples of what is to come. Finally, I am very disappointed that some of my fellow Irish Members in this House did not feel that they could support this being discussed in Parliament. That is a tragedy, considering that it happened in their own constituency."@en1
