Through the NGOs, Ireland focuses on a daily basis on all of these sensitive areas and does so effectively. It also uses its influence discreetly because we are sometimes advised that that is the best way to do it. All of the delegates have been televised live and the Minister, departmental officials and relevant sections will receive a transcript. We will deal further with the issue to the best of our ability and take into account the recommendations made by the delegates in that context. We thank them for their submissions. It has been a very interesting debate, one we needed to have.
