I welcome the Tánaiste's confirmation and reassurance with regard to liaison and contact with families, which is extremely important. I understand that the Tánaiste had a virtual meeting with his EU counterparts recently. Did they all agree that the attacks on UNIFIL peacekeepers by the IDF we have seen in recent days are completely unacceptable and reprehensible? Was there full agreement that all parties, including Israel, must respect their obligations regarding the protection of peacekeepers and avoid any activities that put them in harm's way? Was there agreement to work together and demonstrate cohesion as a group?
