I am asking my colleagues to consider an all-party motion on the Bahraini doctors and I am asking the Leader to bring to the attention of the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the plight of Pastor Nadarkhani. Indeed, my colleagues may also consider an all-party motion on this issue.

Finally, I wish to mention a much less dramatic human rights abuse that is annoying me intensely. I would like to express my displeasure at the detention of Teresa Treacy for the grievous crime of not wanting ESB pylons to be placed across her land at a time when politicians and bankers can traipse through the justice system, leaving a trail of perjury left, right and centre, and never be sentenced to one night in prison.
