Could I ask for an amendment to the minutes? I submitted a detailed document about the role of the Islamic community in organising in Irish villages, among other things, as part of its exercise in addressing the Syrian humanitarian crisis and other work it does as a charitable organisation. The minutes state that it is noted. This was an important project. It was comparable to the work that other religious groups like Trócaire, GOAL, and Christian Aid were doing, and this group should at least be afforded a meeting to explain its humanitarian work in these areas of crisis. Rather than having noted the document, can we follow it up with a request to hear from it about the work the Muslim community in Ireland is doing on behalf of those in distressed regions?
