I thank Mr. Wrafter and his colleagues for attending and updating us on the first year of Ireland's membership of the Human Rights Council. Much more remains to be done in the coming two years. Our ambassador and his officials will be quite busy with human rights issues in Syria and throughout the Middle East dominating the agenda. We have had an interesting and wide-ranging discussion and I thank members for engaging with Mr. Wrafter. The answers were short but comprehensive.
