On a point of order, today is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. On 27 January 1945, the last prisoners remaining in Auschwitz were released. I call on the Taoiseach to lead the House in a minute's silence to remember the 1.1 million souls - men, women and children - who died in Auschwitz. We owe it to those who were killed to remember them in this Parliament today.
