I thank the Tánaiste for his comment. Will the Tánaiste inform the House with respect to the sanctions put in place by the European Union to try to influence the awful civil war in Sudan whether there are plans to increase the sanctions on both sides? Will he comment on the alleged war crimes committed by both sides? Would he like to comment on the recent issue that Sudan has left the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, IGAD, which was set up to promote development among countries in that part of Africa?
