"Mr President, I would like to remind both Mr Allister and Mr Nicholson, and indeed Mrs de Brún, that the rule of law applies in the Republic of Ireland and the law will take its course in the Republic of Ireland in relation to the case they mentioned. Could I also remind Mrs de Brún that she has no right to use the term 'Óglaigh na hÉireann' when referring to the IRA. 'Óglaigh na hÉireann' is the name of the Irish Army, not an illegal Irish organisation called the IRA.
My reason for rising here today is to welcome those participating in the freedom drive to the European Parliament. People with disabilities are looking to Europe to help them achieve their full freedom and dignity as European citizens. We must listen to them and act, and indeed the Commission and the Council must especially listen and respond effectively to their legitimate concerns.
As I will not have the opportunity to do so later on in the debate, I would like to convey my deepest sympathy to all those in New Orleans and elsewhere in the United States who have lost relatives, friends, and indeed belongings, as a result of the catastrophe following Hurricane Katrina. Political lessons should be learnt from this, but they must take second place to Europe offering whatever aid is needed and whatever aid is requested by the United States to assist the people concerned."@en1
