We have raised the issue of Iraq on many occasions on the Order of Business in recent weeks. It is important that we continue debating it as new developments unfold. There is no doubt that the victims are the people of Iraq but international peace and stability, the United Nations and the European Union have also suffered. Ireland will have a leading role to play in this respect given that we will take over the EU Presidency in January next. We should now start the process of healing the rifts in both the European Union and the United Nations.
