I am disappointed I only have 30 seconds because I raised this important issue on the only occasion the Taoiseach attended the Seanad. I have discussed it in the House and it remains on my agenda. I am disappointed I will not be able to read from the six or seven pages I have.

I am a member of committee D of the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly, BIPA. That committee is drafting a report on trafficking and sexual violence. Will the Minister of State consider establishing a North-South civic forum to examine these issues? In terms of women's experience of conflict, no one has mentioned the North, the Good Friday Agreement and so on.

I have much to say, but I have only been given 30 seconds.
