We will take the views expressed on board and write to the Nepalese ambassador in London highlighting the issues raised by all the members, including Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan's point about children and people with disabilities. We will offer our deepest sympathy and outline to the ambassador what the Government has done in respect of this terrible tragedy. We will also keep ourselves updated on the situation. The media will move on after a few more weeks to some other crisis. As in Haiti and the Philippines, people will have to rebuild. The Nepalese Government is probably getting good help at the moment. I am told it is getting good help from their neighbouring countries, including China. We wish the NGOs, in particular Irish NGOs, working there well and hope that the casualty list will not increase as time goes on.
