Tom Kitt (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

This will definitely be the case. We will be dealing with this issue in another question. I will be happy to deal with all issues relating to Chad. The reconnaissance mission is taking place and it will make a report. The Government is required to seek the approval of the Dáil for participation in this mission. I hope this will be the case but much work remains to be done. This could not be described as a safe mission and there are many issues to be considered by the reconnaissance mission. The House will be fully informed before its ultimate decision.
