Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

Does the Minister agree that missions abroad, including that in Bosnia and Herzegovina, are important in terms of our foreign policy and, by making us players at the United Nations, afford us greater influence abroad? Will the Minister confirm that he has made direct contact with the UN regarding the possibility of future missions? Has he confirmed to the UN that we have a contingent available should it be required in the immediate future?
