Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

That is kind of the Minister. However, could he tell us what is proposed? We have signed 27 United Nations conventions, none of which has been ratified. Yesterday, I referred to two dealing with the rights of the child, one to protect children against pornography and another on trafficking of children. Regarding the Minister's earlier answer, it might be a good start to consultation on the rights of the child to ratify the related United Nations conventions.
