PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS?

KIERAN J. HEALY,

Sir, - Every day we hear from our politicians of the importance of our membership of the European Union and the influence that European institutions have on our lives. Might it now be appropriate to invite Pat Cox MEP,President of the European Parliament,to address a sitting of the Joint Houses of the Oireachtas? Is there any support for this proposal? - Yours, etc.,

KIERAN J. HEALY,
