I am thinking, for example, of the areas of family law, labour law and equality legislation. The mid-1970s was a time of huge change in Ireland which resulted in Irish people embracing the European dimension in a way that has not faltered since. If there is experience or expertise that we can give to Moldova along the lines mentioned, we would certainly do that.

I apologised earlier on behalf of our colleague, Deputy Berry, who, as I said, was called away. I have been taken to task because he informs me that while he was called away, he is still very much listening although he cannot contribute. He asked me to remind both of our guests that he is listening to every word here and he looks forward to meeting Ambassador Gerasko before the end of the week.

I will ask Mrs Miculet to respond and then we will wrap things up.
