During the year we had a number of discussions on the International Criminal Court and the particular investigation. I will not go into the politics of Ireland joining or not. One of the responses by the Government was to make an increased contribution to the court. There has been quite an amount of criticism of the prosecutor for what is perceived to be slowness in the approach to the situation in Palestine versus, for example, the approach to the investigations on Ukraine. Is there direct engagement between the Government and the ICC prosecutor in terms of the efficiency with which the investigation on Palestine is being conducted?
