At the Taoiseach's recent meeting with the US congressional delegation, were the ongoing human rights abuses in Iran raised and, in particular, was there agreement on international action to be taken against the Iranian regime on the basis of its dreadful ill-treatment of protesters there? On that note, will the forthcoming proposal to reopen the Irish Embassy in Tehran be reviewed? This has been raised in this House previously, and the Taoiseach and others indicated that the idea the Government might even contemplate reopening an embassy in Tehran, Iran, would now be under review in light of what is going on there.
