Seán Kyne (Galway West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister of State for a very comprehensive report. He can be assured that the joint committee fully supports his call on the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. We do not want to see turmoil there.

I acknowledge his comments with regard to the possibility that the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, will set out his thinking on the EU-UK relationship. As he knows, we have deliberated on the implications of a possible UK withdrawal from the EU, and our report will be published shortly. A delegation from the committee will travel to Germany to discuss the possible implications for the EU of a UK withdrawal.

Deputy Durkan has had to go to an emergency meeting of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission, but he hopes to be back. A number of members are absent because a delegation from the committee are travelling to Warsaw. However, we have two esteemed members.
