Order of Business (Resumed)

The House should be pleased the Israeli authorities have released Mairéad Maguire and Derek Graham, who will be flying back to Dublin this evening. They have been deported from Israel for carrying out humanitarian work in the Gaza Strip, which is unfair. I commend them and their colleagues on their efforts on behalf of the people of Palestine and hope they will continue their campaign to achieve justice in that region.
Will there be an opportunity during Friday's debate on the OECD and IMF reports to go through all the parties' manifestos for the last general election? I am particularly interested in examining the Labour Party document, but finding a copy of it is like trying to discover the third secret of Fatima.
