I did not expect Mr. Cooney to answer the question. I thank Mr. Cooney for his very informative discussion on foreign policy matters in the EU. It has been a very useful meeting for the members. It is good to have such meetings once or twice a year. As Mr. Donohoe will probably not come before the committee again before his new appointment at the UN in September, I wish him well in his new posting and we hope to work closely with him. I wish all of the witness well in their dealings as they wind up the Irish Presidency which has been quite successful and very cost efficient, which is extremely important.
