Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----at the White House. He is now producing a list of issues to be discussed in the event we are represented. On behalf of the Taoiseach, I assure the Deputy that Deputy Kenny will fully air Ireland's interests across a range of issues. However, the United States makes its own decisions as it considers its options. We will be in a position to make our views known, with particular reference to the logic of the long-standing international position on this matter. At EU level, we will continue to be a strong voice on the issue, act nationally in our utterances and act together at every opportunity and at every level as a European Union in bilateral meetings, such as the one I had this morning with my French counterpart, at which this specific issue was discussed, and at international forums where Ireland is strongly represented in the United Nations. However, as far as we are concerned, the two-state solution is the only viable option.
