Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

There has just been a question and answer session to the Tánaiste on the Libyan situation and the decision of the UN Security Council to operate a no-fly zone, taking whatever action needed to implement it and prevent the wilful slaughter of innocent civilians in Libya. I understand there will be an opportunity for statements on the matter on Thursday so the Deputy will be able to give his opinion there. The UN Security Council does not lightly make such resolutions and it is on that basis that leaders across the world are dealing with the unfolding and tragic events in Libya. The Deputy might not have been present when the Tánaiste answered questions today but he will have another opportunity to contribute on Thursday.
