I have had the honour of serving with the United Nations on a number of occasions. This country has a proud and honourable record in the service of the UN. Honour demands that we cannot stand aside now. We must be in the vanguard of any humanitarian aid programme for post-war Iraq. Not only should our NGOs be given every assistance by the Government but units of the Defence Forces should be made available to distribute that aid. We can do no less. In saying that, I acknowledge the Minister of State's speech and his commitments in that regard.
