I will restate what I said - it is imperative that the Russian ambassador be called to account for the war crimes that his country is committing. That discussion should not be a past or passing thing. The ambassador should be brought before the Tánaiste and asked directly how his country can justify killing hundreds of people, not only in Ghouta, but also in Aleppo and other cities across Syria. He should be demanded to appear. That is the least the Government can do, not only for the poor suffering people of Syria, but also for the people of this country and the Syrians residing in Dublin who are asking what is happening in Syria. People are being slaughtered. He should be made accountable for the crimes of his country. Will the Minister, Deputy Bruton, give a commitment that the Russian ambassador will be summoned immediately to be questioned by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade?
