Like Senators Bacik and Mullins, I wish to refer to the Gaza issue and move an amendment to the Order of Business, that either today or tomorrow we invite either the Taoiseach, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade or the Minister of State with responsibility for European affairs to the House to discuss the issue. There was a special meeting of the European Council yesterday and it discussed Gaza in its conclusions. It is important that we discuss it. We can convene a committee to discuss Garth Brooks but we cannot get a Minister to the House to discuss this issue.
