Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the all-party motion on the Order Paper. In doing so, I ask that we use every tool available and join our international colleagues to ensure the official results of the recent presidential election are published as quickly as possible as that would solve many of the problems being suffered by the people of Zimbabwe. The sooner that matter is published and dealt with, the better. We will see other events after that.

My good friend and colleague, Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú, congratulated former President Jimmy Carter, which I support. From what I have read, former President Carter has made very poignant suggestions and recommendations as to what is necessary to try to achieve some type of settlement for the Palestinians. I hope this House will be able to support whatever proper publication of those recommendations comes in due course.

I wish to mention briefly that some success has been made, as we know, on an issue that many of my colleagues and I have raised, namely, the community pharmacist issue. I indicate that the issue is not over, although the Health Service Executive has given a little to prevent disruption of services. Community pharmacists are still as anxious as ever to have these matters properly resolved.
