I endorse what Senator Terry said on the duty free limit. The limit of €175, whether for parcel post or for somebody coming through a duty free shop, is far too low. In this day and age, it should be increased to at least a four figure sum.

Will the Leader arrange a debate on the ongoing tribunals and, in particular, the need to refocus and perhaps channel some of the remaining modules through commissions of investigation which would be far more expeditious and fair? When the Leader is arranging the debate on Gaza, will she also include the recent atrocity at Al-Hadithah? Such appalling war crimes must be debated and exposed. In many ways, this underscores the correctness of the views expressed by President Chirac and the French Government at the outset of the invasion of Iraq.
