I pay tribute to the Defence Forces personnel who have served overseas over the many decades since the 1950s, as the Minister said. I wish to remember those who have lost their lives so have given the ultimate sacrifice. We must remember that our troops working as peacekeepers is not a game and is a very serious situation. I am open to correction but I think more than 87 people have lost their lives serving abroad over the years. With respect to the United Nations, what is the position regarding the UN making payments to the Irish State?
