I would like a response from the Department on the activities in Mosul, Iraq and the humanitarian crisis that is coming down the track.

The Minister mentioned war crimes in Syria and said he supported the referral to the international court. What role can the Irish Government play in this matter? He did not mention the war crimes in Yemen. Would he similarly support a referral to the international court of the war crimes in Yemen?

The Minister mentioned that there is funding for the peace process in Colombia. Is the offer still on the table? Does he view as positive the fact that negotiations have opened up with the guerrilla group called the ELN?

I ask the Minister for an explanatory note on the hurdles and roadblocks in terms of refugees.

An all-party motion was passed in this House and showed that there is unanimous support for the official recognition of the state of Palestine. Has the Minister thought any more about the matter? Does he view it as a positive step?
