I am not sure what contacts the Taoiseach and the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation have made with Aviva. I understand they have made contact. I will revert to the Senator.
Senators Bacik, Walsh, Mullen and others called for a debate on the UN periodic review. Senator Zappone is in Geneva on foot of the review. I hope to facilitate a debate on that as soon as the Minister can attend the House. A number of human rights issues were raised, such as the case of Dr. Rafah Nashed in Syria. Senator Crown referred to Pastor Nadarkhani in Iran and the situation of the Bahraini doctors. I was under the impression that we had framed and passed an all-party motion on Bahrain but if it is not the case-----
