The National Forum on Europe under the chairmanship of Senator Maurice Hayes has also been following the Convention very closely. The Oireachtas Members at the Convention and I regularly attend its sessions both to participate in discussions on specific issues and to update it on the Convention's work and, in my case, the Government's approach. I was due to address its session yesterday on the final report of the social Europe working group; however, due to the unfortunate motor accident involving the chairman of the group, Giorgios Katiforis, the plenary was postponed. I send my good wishes to Mr. Katiforis and my hopes for his speedy recovery. The patience, good humour and intelligence that he has brought to the Convention and meetings of national representatives have been greatly appreciated by all. He is a very good friend of the small countries and a particularly staunch friend of ours. I hope he will have the opportunity to visit the forum which yesterday took the unique and quite extraordinary initiative of issuing a video specifically aimed at schools to inform young people on the work of the Convention. I recommend it to Members of the House.
