I wish to raise an urgent issue of human rights. I ask the Leader to convey my concerns to the Minister for Foreign Affairs in relation to the three Irishmen currently held in captivity and awaiting trial in Colombia. There are many questions with regard to their safety and whether they can receive a fair trial. There has been a great deal of judgmental commentary on the case which has been linked, in the first instance, to the peace process in Northern Ireland and the international campaign against terrorism. Having regard to past miscarriages of justice such as the Birmingham Six and the Guildford Four, we need to ensure it does not take another ten or 12 years before another miscarriage of justice—
