Before I call Deputies Brendan Smith, Maureen O'Sullivan and Eric Byrne and Senator Michael Mullins, I would like to say we will try to finish at a reasonable time because we have other pressing engagements. That is not to diminish, in any way, the importance of the subject matter under discussion.

We will decide on the means by which we will deal with the issues arising after a discussion. We have to follow up on them and it is appropriate that we liaise with the ambassadors or chargé d'affaires, as the case may be.
