The Tánaiste indicated earlier that we are prepared to evacuate our troops if we have to in the event of serious hostilities breaking out. We hope that does not happen. If hostilities break out between Hezbollah and Israel, it would be a catastrophe. I understand that Hezbollah is more powerful than Hamas.
Will the Tánaiste comment on the Syrian refugees in Lebanon? Have we any idea how many are still there? Are they having an impact on the economy? Have we any interaction with them, to the Tánaiste's knowledge?
