Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I hope that pragmatism and common sense will result in Iran adhering to the conditions in respect of the nuclear proliferation programme in which it is now involved. I hope also that the sanctions imposed will have the desired effect and that countries can continue with their business in commerce and trade with what is fundamentally a critical supply. I hope the support given by the European Union to the sanctions will result in Iran doing what it should do and not anything that would have catastrophic consequences in that part of the Middle East.
