Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

In regard to the EU, there was a peace process in Bogotá and a significant issue there. In our peace process, external help was very important. We had US envoys. For decommissioning, we had Martti Ahtisaari and Cyril Ramaphosa, and George Mitchell was an envoy who essentially kept the oil flowing in the talks process. It is that kind of thing which I get, but one does not want a parallel operation which can be injurious. The Deputy and I are both agreed on this point.
