It is a stark video, with strong comments made by the speaker. The committee has a regular engagement with the Colombian ambassador, H.E. Ms Cortés Ortiz, and I expect that we will invite her to appear before the committee to comment on the video. We are certainly happy to write to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Coveney, particularly in the context of Ireland's membership of the UN Security Council. The video was quite shocking in terms of the commentary. We are certainly happy to take matters further. I thank Mr. Anderson. I am sorry for intervening at this stage.
