Tá a lán daoine sna fíor-Ghaeltachtaí a dteastódh uathu go dtabharfaí seans do dhaoine sna Galltachtaí an Ghaeltacht a fhágáil. D'oirfeadh sé don Ghalltacht agus don Ghaeltacht ar aon.

I do not want to rehearse matters I raised on the Order of Business yesterday but I ask the Leader to ascertain the answer to a question. It appears the Government believes, and I have no reason to doubt its view, that the Colombia three were in Colombia to raise what the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, described as tens of millions of dollars for nefarious activities. I am a member of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs, as is the Leader, and we were provided with a succession of confidential briefings in private about the enormous amount of work the Department of Foreign Affairs and its staff was putting in on behalf of three people who, we are now told, were involved in the most appalling nefarious activities.
