Seeing it would be worthwhile. I will take this opportunity to thank Professor McMaster and Ms McKenna for meeting us. We have had a frank, open and interesting discussion on the Syrian situation. The committee will continue to focus on Syria. In particular, we will continue to ensure that, in our discussions with the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Gilmore, Ireland maintains its commitment and support to humanitarian relief. During the Irish Presidency of the EU, we will put to the fore of our discussions with the Tánaiste the question of the protection of people such as our guests who work on the front line.
