Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

This has erupted into a full-scale civil war and the atrocities are beyond belief. As far as the Government is concerned, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade is in touch with our European colleagues and we join with them and with other leaders of Governments around the world in condemning unreservedly the atrocities taking place in Syria. Ireland will contribute in whatever way it can.
