I was about to raise that issue. The witnesses have presented a considerable amount of information and it is the committee's intention to seek the views of the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade on the issues arising, particularly in regard to human rights and Honduras. We will pursue the matter further as soon as we get the Tánaiste's views. As noted, we will be also get in touch with the Department of Finance regarding the taxation issues. These are important issues. I am not sure whether the Minister for Finance or the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform will be attending next week's World Bank meeting but we will also raise issues in that regard. Certain issues raised by the witnesses are probably outside our remit and might be more appropriately discussed with the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform.
