I will just say quickly on the Non-Aligned Movement, NAM, all members are currently in the developing world. That has always been the focus of the membership. The only country in Europe that is currently a member is Belarus. Many of the foreign policy positions taken by the NAM over the years do not necessarily correspond to Ireland's foreign policy priorities. We work in a constructive way with the countries involved however.

If there are no further issues arising from Deputy Brady and Senator Craughwell, I am keen to give the floor to Senator Ardagh.
