I move:

“That Dáil Éireann:

condemns:— the continued imposition of economic sanctions against Syria by the European Union and the United States of America; and

— the kidnapping of 54 children from the towns of al-Fu’ah and Kafraya in Syria, who went missing following an attack on 15th April, 2017, on a convoy of buses transporting evacuees from those towns; andcalls on the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to:— advocate at the EU Foreign Affairs Council for the lifting of the EU's economic sanctions against Syria;

— immediately make contact with the US Ambassador to Ireland, to raise the issue of lifting the US economic sanctions against Syria; and

— work with all relevant authorities for the return of the 54 missing children from al-Fu’ah and Kafraya.

I wish to share time with Deputy Mick Wallace.
