As the Deputy knows, discussions are taking place at EU level. As I said to Deputy Bacik, the hearings last week at the International Court of Justice involved only South Africa and Israel, the parties to the case. This is not the time for intervention by other states. We have never been afraid to intervene and have done so at the appropriate time when we judged an intervention to be warranted. I assure the Deputy we will not be found wanting.
