Like other speakers, I am pleased the visit of President Bush last week went so well and I congratulate all those involved. Some people appear to have difficulty with what the Taoiseach says, but I normally find him a model of clarity. I was concerned, however, when he was asked about the transport of prisoners through Shannon Airport to Guantanamo Bay. He said UN Resolution 1546 states that member states should help the coalition forces in Iraq in whatever way they could. I read the resolution and I could see nothing about the transport of untried and unsentenced people. I would be very grateful if the Leader of the House could find out whether the Taoiseach meant "Yes" or "No".
