Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The mandate and role of UNDOF are pursued under the supervised implementation of the disengagement agreement in maintaining an area of separation of over 75 km between Israeli and Syrian forces. I have spoken on numerous occasions to quite a number of Irish personnel serving on the Golan Heights. They have told me at first hand about the important work they are carrying out on a daily basis on each and every mission. I understand the work they are carrying out and I am very proud of the work they are doing. They go there as peacekeepers. That is exactly the work our troops are doing on a daily basis in carrying out their duties.
