I tabled this question after the historic decision by the Basque separatist organisation ETA to decommission all its remaining weapons. On Saturday, an international verification commission received information from Basque civil society representatives on eight weapons dumps that contained all ETA's remaining weapons. This comes six years after ETA declared an end to its armed struggle. There are still considerable and unresolved issues. To find a resolution to outstanding issues, the Spanish and French Governments need to enter formal dialogue that will lead to negotiation. Given Ireland's own successful approach, will the Minister formally raise this issue with the Spanish and French Governments?
