Members will recall that we received correspondence recently from Jack O'Connor, president of Justice for Colombia Ireland about the peace process in Colombia. The committee subsequently received briefing material from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. A very good meeting was held on 16 January 2013 with the Colombian ambassador. When we reviewed the position at our last meeting, members were positively disposed to considering a motion which encourages the peace process in Colombia and gives appropriate recognition to the efforts of all involved. A motion has been tabled by Deputy Seán Crowe and circulated to members. I call on Deputy Crowe to move the motion.
