I am most grateful to the Cathaoirleach. I am sorry our friends from America are no longer in the Chamber because I would have liked them to know that, while we support America, we deplore the attempts to employ torture and would like to support the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, on her visit to Syria. A think tank established by their own people made this very recommendation because the locals have to be engaged. I have no brief for President Assad or his regime but thank God somebody at last has the sense to visit Syria. Well done to her.
