My position on the Iraqi war has been recorded in this House several times and in public debate outside the House. At the beginning of the war I said clearly that I considered it to be unjustified, illegal and immoral. Nothing has happened to change my opinion. That is not to suggest I hold another person's view in any kind of contempt because we are all so far removed from the scene. On the subject of humanitarian aid, I am pleased that Ireland is to the fore as it has been in all parts of the world where humanitarian aid was required. This was admirably reflected by the Minister of State, Deputy Tom Kitt. It is particularly important that Ireland continues that role. Apart from the financial contribution we make, in many ways we will be seen as people who, down through the decades if not the centuries, have always endeavoured to give help for help's sake without having any underlying political agenda. That has been the strength of Ireland's involvement in the Third World and in other areas where war is raging.
