Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

I welcome the opportunity to be associated with the remarks already made. Maybe we should ask the Minister to send the troops to Paris to get justice there.

I raised the issue of the two GOAL volunteers because I have had a long association with GOAL, particularly through my involvement in community games. I am delighted about what happened. I compliment the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I read an article in a Sunday newspaper which suggested the Army's Ranger Wing had been dispatched to deal with the issue. Will the Minister comment on this because that type of mischievous reporting does not help in such cases?

I wish the Minister continued success with his endeavour. I remain a big fan.
