I stress the importance of showing political support to our Defence Forces. It is one thing to debate these issues in the House, and I thank the Leader for responding to my request for such a debate. I also thank the Minister for giving us his time. However, political responsibility must follow on from the decision made in the Dáil yesterday. Our Defence Forces have served this country proudly at home and abroad and with distinction since the foundation of the State. I hope the political system will support this mission on a continuous basis and that it will actively monitor the role of the Defence Forces in Liberia with regular statements in the House on the welfare of our troops in line with our responsibility to them.
