I ask that we have continuing monitoring in this House of the war in Iraq, especially in the light of the statement made by the Taoiseach under questioning in recent days. When asked about Ireland's position on the war, he said he would make it clear if and when the Americans went to war without a resolution. We are entitled to know before that happens. It is important that we have a debate in order that we can create a context in which the Taoiseach can formulate that type of policy.
