Ms Finola Finnan:

As a group of NGOs we say that the ICC is an absolutely important mechanism and it must be available to the international community. The Irish Government using its influence at EU and international level to call out breaches of international law is crucially important. We have a number of partners who are ensuring the ICC has the information it needs. It needs to be able to do its job. We welcome the funding given by the Irish Government to support that. That would be our position.
