The presentation by Barry Andrews last week was very good. We received correspondence from the meeting and a briefing on Syria from Oxfam. As I said here last week, the issue of Syria is chilling. The international community has not done what needs to be done. We know the Tánaiste is pushing as hard as he can and we are providing humanitarian assistance, but can we adopt another motion to keep the issue alive to show these advocacy groups that we are continuing our interest in the matter?
