I thank the witnesses for their comprehensive answers to members' questions. As they will have seen, we are really interested in this issue. We regard it as a very serious issue. I thank Senator Norris for his keen interest in this area. We will follow up on what has been said now by considering Senator Norris's motion. The witnesses might like to stay here for that part of the meeting. The motion I have received from Senator Norris has been supported by Deputies Eric Byrne, Maureen O'Sullivan and Brendan Smith. Members will note that the motion has been revised slightly since the original motion was submitted here. The word "forced" has been added to the last line of the Senator's motion. I am sure the Senator has no objection to that. Would the Senator like to comment briefly? I might suggest that we could add something to the motion, with Senator Norris's permission, to make reference to this country's membership of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
