Seán Ardagh (Dublin South Central, Fianna Fail)

The Minister for Foreign Affairs has carried out significant work in respect of trying to help the victims of violence complete their grieving and bring closure to all those affairs, particularly in respect of the consultative group in Northern Ireland. I know he has worked with Peter Hain in agreeing and bringing this about. He has also been very involved on a regular basis. We see him at the meetings and on television. I also express my thanks to him for the work and effort he has put into it.
