I have a few practical questions following on from Deputy Barrett's contribution. On the mission to Western Sahara, the idea behind participating in it was that we were part of the infrastructure for the referendum. There does not seem to be any sign of that referendum happening. Why are we then remaining as part of that mission? Reference was also made to a plan to phase out peacekeeping troops in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Does that plan cover Kosovo as well? If that were the case, then that would free up some of our troops for what Deputy Barrett mentioned. I ask the Minister of State to deal with those questions now and then I will call Deputy Ó Snodaigh.
