Absolutely. It was these Houses that established our neutrality and these Houses that, I believe, still firmly stand by it today. I will turn to Mr. Noonan about the points in his paper about Palestine and, essentially, the EU's failings in regard to that. I have said that in the Chamber myself and history will judge that, regardless of the fact that Ireland has been at the forefront of the issue. The issue of Palestine is extremely important to the Irish people, but under the triple lock, if we were to retain it, would we be able to send peacekeepers to Palestine, which I think Irish people would really like to see, in the event of a ceasefire there?
