I thank the Minister of State. Before I open the floor to other members, I acknowledge the role of the Defence Forces in UN peace missions. I acknowledge their professionalism, the very high standards to which they operate and the way in which they are an example to others. I thank the Minister of State for the additional information he sent. He has outlined the way in which the Defence Forces engage with local communities, the humanitarian work in which they are involved and the way in which this aspect of peace and conflict resolution is part of A Better World, our new policy.
