I back what Deputy Haughey said in the sense that we need to look at the whole issue of migration holistically. We all know that across Europe, but particularly here, of the huge gaps we have regarding employees so we need to rectify that across the board. I would be interested how the Taoiseach thinks the conversations went with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg regarding NATO co-operation, given this State's position of non-alignment and military neutrality. The Taoiseach mentioned what has happened in Kosovo. We know of the conversation regarding accession for the western Balkans and that they need to be provided with a route map, while people within that context have to be able to see right by the Copenhagen criteria. Were there talks of any plans about engagement? Was there any conversation on Cyprus, beyond reiterating that the situation of partition and occupation from the Cypriot point of view needs to be dealt with, as well as on how can we move it on?
