I just want to be clear on what I think is the instinct of our Government. I was in New York last week as one of Ireland's representatives at the conference of states parties at the United Nations. The Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, was also present with his officials. I stated in the general debate that Ireland is serious about implementation and wants to make progress. My instinct is not that our State does not want to do the right thing. However, we have to go about this in the right way.
