I do. I ask her to contact the leader of her party to take action about the attacks on the flotilla sailing to Gaza to support the people of Palestine. I accompanied the Tánaiste previously and, in fact, led a delegation to Palestine in 2006. He knows the situation first hand, that Gaza is an open prison of 1.5 million people. There are brave and courageous people from this country who are prepared to go on board the ship to break the blockade on Gaza. I would like to support the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and know the Tánaiste's heart is in the right place in that regard. We need to show solidarity to the brave people who are putting their lives at risk on behalf of the oppressed people of Gaza and the West Bank.

I inform the House that the Registration of Wills Bill 2011 will be taken during Private Members' time at 5 p.m. next Wednesday, 6 July. I seek the support of all Members for this progressive legislation which was approved by the previous Seanad. I invite all my colleagues to a media briefing on it at 6.30 p.m. on Tuesday, 5 July, in the audio-visual room. Second Stage will be taken on Wednesday. I would like hear their views, particularly those of all the new Senators, prior to Committee and Report Stages.
