Vincent P. Martin (GP), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I heard he was a very good showjumper. The British people should speak up on this. I appeal to my fellow parliamentarians in the House of Commons and the House of Lords not to undermine peace or relegate Britain to a state where it cannot be trusted in negotiations.
I have concerns about America and Britain and the damage that could be done to western democracy. At least in America there is a possibility that a certain outcome in November's election will alleviate our fears. The British situation is far more serious. Peace has been so hard won and the reckless disregard shown for building on that peace is little short of a scandal.
