Before we finish, as Vice Chair of the committee, I assure the Cathaoirleach that if an election is called, I and Senator O'Reilly can still function here as part of this committee and it will be in very safe hands.

On a serious note, I wish to be associated with the comments regarding our Defence Forces personnel in Lebanon. Our thoughts are with them, primarily, and with their families. As the father of a member of the Defence Forces who was in the Golan Heights this time last year, I know a little about what they are going through. They are in our thoughts. I wish to be associated with the comments of colleagues here.
