Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

While I fully accept the Deputy's points, some progress has been made politically. The constituent assembly has chosen a President and Prime Minister and formed a coalition Government. It now has to work on drawing up a permanent constitution for Nepal. We will work and communicate the Oireachtas's views to the Indian Government on the role it can play. We will also work directly with the authorities in Nepal to see if we can be of further assistance in helping build up civil society and proper governance structures there.
