We need to look at this. As my colleagues know, I have often raised circumstances in which inappropriate agency staff were used, people who did not even speak English, who did not know anything about drug regimes, who were sometimes drunk.

I have a direct and very specific question. Motion 9, proposed by two Independent colleagues and myself, condemns sexual violence in conflict, affirms Ireland's commitment to the UN Security Council resolutions on women, peace and security and to playing a role in efforts to end sexual violence, and supports the efforts of organisations to draw attention to and denounce sexual violence. So far, two colleagues have signed the motion. I am sure all will because it is non-contentious and has been passed by other countries. I am sure colleagues in all parties would wish to support this.
