Foreign Conflicts: Motion.
As a result of the resolution, there was an expectation that the weapons inspectors would make a report which we then would be able to evaluate and take the further action necessary. It must be conceded that the Government, from the Taoiseach down, had indicated that a resolution to follow 1441 would have to be agreed. This has not happened. While I am not happy that the United States, Britain and Spain decided to act outside the ambit of the United Nations, they have done so and we must now deal with it.
