I am conscious of that fact that we have one Minister before us for questioning but two distinct Departments. So far there have been questions from Members on defence issues. Particularly in light of this morning's Government decision on a foreign affairs issue, I ask the Minister to keep the issues separate in his responses. I am conscious of the fact that a wide range of issues have already been put to the Minister. I call Deputy Gannon, to be followed by Deputy Clarke.
