I will conclude by saying the Minister, Deputy Coveney, is a good man. Several times over the past fortnight he has taken calls and texts from me relating to an Irish family stuck in Kabul. That is a real crisis. He has given of his time to listen to that case. Many in my party tonight will reluctantly vote confidence in the Minister, Deputy Coveney, but, let me be clear, this is not about the man. We have confidence in him to fulfil his role as a Minister. We have full confidence in him. It is the process that got us to this point, which has us very annoyed. We have confidence in him. It is the process that has been wrong.
