Mr. Jim Clarken:

We appreciate the sentiment and support. This is a collective effort. We acknowledge that Ireland can do only so much but it can do things. Ireland plays an important role in the world. Despite its size, it has access to extraordinarily influential people. Interestingly, Ms Nancy Pelosi, who was in the Houses yesterday, is one of the people who slapped down the US President in regard to the veto. She was immediately connected to that. Ireland is in such spaces and can use its voice as an honest country that genuinely wants to do the right thing, but we should not be afraid to raise the issues and be clear about our position on these matters.
