I warmly welcome this diplomatic note. I want to put it on the record that I believe the Department, representing the Irish Government, has done a phenomenal job of work on behalf of an Irish citizen. Notwithstanding the negative positions that are being alleged - the situation has been inflamed by incorrect information about torture, etc. - it is clear when one reads the report that this is a victory for diplomacy. I want it to be recorded that we are reading today about the service being provided by our Government to an Irish citizen.
