Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I agree with what the Tánaiste is doing and as outlined he has used every forum available to him to highlight from an Irish and EU perspective the need for involvement by the United Nations, which seems to be paralysed in dealing with this conflict given the divisions in the Security Council. I ask him to ensure that this issue, which is of the utmost importance, is addressed in every way in the fora available to him.
