Thank you. Some of Deputy Crowe's questions remain to be answered and there were also questions on Uganda and Palestine. Obviously, we are all concerned at recent developments in Uganda. The Minister of State, Deputy Costello, said yesterday he is waiting for a report from our embassy in Uganda in order to comment further on what action will be taken. It is obviously quite serious. We want to hasten bilateral relations between both countries. We fund NGOs there at present but we do not fund the government there as a result of what happened before. It is something the committee will probably consider at some stage in the future. We were to go to Uganda this year. I believe we should still go there and protest at this draconian legislation. It is something to bear in mind.
