I hesitate to interrupt, but I see there is a vote in the Seanad and I am sure Senators O'Sullivan and O'Reilly wish to be excused. I thank them for their contributions. Maybe they will be back.

Since I have interrupted you, Mr. Shatter, may I ask you a question? In October of last year the Israeli Defense Minister, Benny Gantz, announced the designation of six Palestinian NGOs as terrorist organisations. They included organisations in receipt of funding from Irish Aid. Do you agree with the Israeli Defense Minister in his designation of NGOs in receipt of funding from Irish Aid? Is that an issue the Irish Government might look at?
