Order of Business.
I join with other Senators in calling for a debate on the report of the Council of Europe into the issue of rendition. I have only had a brief opportunity to go through the documentation that has been...
It lacks credibility because it makes allegations——

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Parlon. I wish to raise this important matter which I have previously raised in the House. It relates to the provision of a station house at Doolin, County Clar...
