". Mr President, Mrs Ahern is a much-respected fellow Member of this House and I hold her in high esteem. Sadly, at the end of her intervention she referred to the nuclear package as nonsense. That amounts to condemning as totally worthless the work undertaken by the Commission. By implication, Mrs Ahern also condemned as totally worthless the work undertaken in good faith by the rapporteurs with a view to improving on the Commission’s proposal. All this work was dismissed as nonsense. In my view, Mr President, nonsense is an unduly pejorative word to use. I would never resort to it to describe Mrs Ahern’s views and opinions. I would certainly refrain from referring to them as nonsense. I might say they were mistaken, lacking in rigour or unrealistic, but I would never dismiss them as nonsense. For the sake of my personal regard for Mrs Ahern, and in the interests of parliamentary courtesy, I therefore call on Mrs Ahern to withdraw the word nonsense. As I said, I believe it is unduly derogatory."@en1
