In the course of his visit to India, did the Taoiseach have an opportunity to address any of the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan? Both countries possess nuclear weapons. Did the Taoiseach get a sense that relations between the two countries have improved, particularly given the widely reported measures of goodwill employed by India towards Pakistan in the course of the natural disaster recently visited on the latter? Did the Taoiseach inquire about progress towards nuclear disarmament in the region, not the energy needs on which the Taoiseach's earlier reply is based? It is not about energy needs but specifically about disarmament.
