My question was did the Government raise the issues of guardianship, the exploitation of migrant workers and capital punishment specifically on its recent visit to Saudi Arabia. If so, what was the nature of the response it received from the Saudi authorities?

I appreciate there are all sorts of diplomatic initiatives taking place at all levels but what specific action did the Irish Government take when the Taoiseach and other Ministers visited Saudi Arabia recently? Did he raise these issues? What response did he receive and what follow-up actions will be taken to put pressure on this despicable regime to respect human rights?
