Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

National Action Plan on UN Security Council Resolution 1325: Discussion

2:50 pm

Ms Liz McManus:

We are keen to do what we can. It would be very helpful if parliamentarians also pursued this through the interparliamentary bodies wherever possible. This committee has a role, as well as the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, but it is an issue that needs to be progressed. One of the actions we will take is a thematic conference to be held in the autumn, which I hope all or some of the members can attend, on Resolution 1325. There will be a session solely on Northern Ireland. I do not know if the Deputy is aware that there is a group within the Assembly promoting Resolution 1325. I understand it is a cross-party group. Again, we have not made contact with it yet but we will be doing so.
