I thank the Taoiseach for his reply and welcome his decision to ask the Minister of State, Deputy Jimmy Deenihan, to travel to the United States to show our solidarity and support, as well as to convey our gratitude to the emergency personnel for their work. As this is not a day on which to have normal engagement, I will leave the questions I raised earlier with the Taoiseach because I know that they will receive the attention they deserve in the light of the exceptional commitment and support shown by the Government and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade thus far. I again thank the Taoiseach for his reply.
