Ms Suzanne Keatinge:

We fully support that. When we met the Minister, Deputy Naughten, in New York, we made the proposal that there needs to be a Dáil debate on the voluntary national review. It is a countrywide thing that needs to be shared with people. The Minister was supportive but we need to see progress on it. Coalition 2030 has in mind to hold an event some time in November to share with the committee some of the findings from New York. Members of the committee will certainly be getting an invitation and I hope they come along to it. I fully endorse the idea of better communication.

I will address Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan's points on coherence. She knows what it means and I fully agree with her. We have been talking about the stakeholder forum. That is exactly what the forum needs to be about. It needs to have dialogue where there is incoherence rather than having a dialogue asking how we are doing. That is the message I would like to get across to the committee. I fully agree with the Deputy on the arms trade. This is an important issue. I began by referring to the importance of Ireland playing a global leadership role. We have already been seen to show leadership on the issue of small arms and in other areas. This is our opportunity and we need to grasp it. I heard what the Deputy said about civil society stepping into that space.
