Shane Moynihan (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

I wish to ask about the current situation in Sudan. A civil war, which started over two years ago, has resulted in the death of over 500,000 children and the displacement of 14 million people. It has left 25 million people facing insecurity. Ireland's record has been strong in this regard. We were the country that initiated the discussion on sanctions and spoke on behalf of the EU at the EU and Gulf Cooperation Council summit. I would like to hear from the Taoiseach about what efforts are ongoing at an EU level to co-ordinate with our fellow European member states with regard to a more proactive response to the conflict in Sudan. What actions are being taken to interact with the African Union in respect of its role in this conflict and bringing it towards a resolution? We need to consider the safety of human life in that regard.
