I thank Senator Finucane for raising this matter and congratulate all those Members of this and the other House who withdrew from the proposed visit to Colombia. It is important that we hear from the Leader of the House Government policy on sending representatives. All the Members who intended to go have, in their wisdom, withdrawn because they do not want to be used as propaganda tools for the IRA. I endorse those who believe Senator White's visit is unwise.
