I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing this question and congratulate the Minister on her appointment. She comes with a reputation for ability, sincerity and hard work and I look forward to working with her. We should remember the previous Minister, Deputy Deenihan, whose commitment and hard work made him a pleasure to work with. Ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a ghabháil chomh maith leis an Aire Stáit. Tá sé ag gníomhú timpeall na háite seo le fada an lá agus tá an chéim in airde tuillte aige.

In the context of the decade of commemorations, this question relates to the 61,000 tours of duty undertaken by Irish people on peacekeeping missions and asks whether the Minister is prepared to see them commemorated.
