Having listened carefully to the speech made by the Minister of State today and to the speech made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Cowen, to the General Assembly of the United Nations last September, I think Ireland is accepting its responsibilities and is doing all it should. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Cowen, said on radio recently that while he did not wish to overestimate our importance in the international forum, he knew we had played a major role in bringing about the current resolution. Nobody can point the finger at the Irish Government in this regard. One should read closely and listen to the two speeches to which I referred.
