lpv:spoken text	"Each month this Parliament discusses many resolutions and conducts urgent debates about human and fundamental rights. As a parliament, we rightly give great importance to freedom of religion and faith in these discussions. Religion is a personal choice which must be respected by all EU Member States. Religion plays a central role in international affairs, and the Holy See offers a window to the rest of the world. This is one of the many reasons why each EU Member State, and indeed each EEA country, has diplomatic relations with the Holy See. In this context it would be remiss of me not to raise the recent decision by my Government to withdraw Ireland’s resident ambassador to the Holy See, where we have had a presence since 1929. I strongly believe that this is an ill-judged, wrong and improper decision by any objective test of international diplomacy. I call on the Irish Government, and particularly our Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs, immediately to reverse this decision which is opposed by the vast majority of our citizens."@en1
