Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

First, Mrs. Nuala O'Loan has been very active in Timore-Leste and has compiled two reports. What I may do, for the benefit of Members, is organise a briefing with Mrs. O'Loan on her experience in Timore-Leste and also regarding the security advice area, where we have invited some of their participants to Ireland to work on training on supporting civilian populations, etc., and how the police force and army should work in such situations.

On the Palestinian issue and the Middle East generally, we have written to Senator George Mitchell, who has particularly strong experience. We have offered any help or assistance we can give him in his endeavour and mission.
