I, too, express thanks to both Governments for their work on the Northern Ireland issue. Reference has been made to John de Chastelain but he is only operating under the conditions laid down for his position. It is correct and fitting that both Governments should examine ways and means to clarify the issues raised. That would go a long way towards full implementation of the Agreement.

I support Senator Ó Murchú's comments regarding Mother Teresa. We are all proud of the Minister for Defence who represented the Government at the ceremony last Sunday.
