There is the view among international observers and civil society representatives in Ireland that there is an unhealthy relationship between business leaders, political leaders and organised crime within Bosnia and that the elite which is running the country is not acting in the best interests of the broad citizenry. I ask the Tánaiste very specifically if he would be prepared to meet representatives of the Bosnian community in Ireland and listen to their concerns. The issues in Bosnia pale into insignificance the debates in this House in terms of the back and forth of politics because it is still a very fragile state. The community in Ireland, which has contributed so much, wants reassurance that the Irish Government is treating the conflict resolution issue and the Bosnian state as a priority.
