That is a point of shame. We have not had a debate in this Chamber regarding Shannon. I ask the Leader again today to invite the Minister for Foreign Affairs to the House to allow us to have that important debate. What is he afraid of? He will have to do better than mouth platitudes about Shannon being a gateway to Europe. Right now, it is a gateway to the deaths of thousands of innocent Yemeni citizens and it is high time the Leader, and his Government, stopped turning a blind eye to what is really going on at Shannon.
