Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. He has been a long-standing advocate for the case of Jimmy Lai. I appreciate his sincere commitment to the issue and to that of human rights more generally. I have met with the foreign minister, Wang Yi, on two previous occasions and we discussed a wide spectrum of issues, including human rights issues. He, and indeed the Chinese Government, would respond fairly strongly in their defence of their system and their approach. However, we will meet with the foreign minister, Wang Yi. I am not sure yet how long that meeting will be but it will again cover a wide range of issues.
