I wish to thank the Cathaoirleach. I addressed a letter to him having asked the Leader's permission to invite the former Green Party Senator from Colombia, Ingrid Betancourt, to address the House now that she has been released from FARC captivity. I thought it would be a very important gesture to have her address this House. It would be a reminder of some very good news from last year and also a reminder of the many hostages who are still held in appalling conditions in Colombia by FARC guerillas. I thank the Cathaoirleach for agreeing to raise the matter at the Committee on Procedure and Privileges next week. I hope for a positive response.
