Go raibh míle maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. In fairness, there have been efforts across these Houses involving politicians from all political parties. I thank Senator Maura Hopkins, who today accepted from Harriett Bruce a letter for the Tánaiste and Taoiseach . The Senator has been working on this case, as has Deputy Eugene Murphy, Senator Denis Landy, Deputy Anne Rabbitte and others.

Harriett and Kleber have a very bona fide case. The issue at present, however, is that the Minister is still sitting on the application for Kleber to return home. I ask the Leader to use his good offices to contact the offices of the Minister and Taoiseach to try to have Kleber's application to return home before Christmas expedited so he can be brought home to his wife. I call on all Senators to join us in the audiovisual room as soon as possible after the Order of Business to listen to Harriett telling her own story, giving the background and explaining the legal position in which she has found herself and the nightmare she has faced over recent months. Tá súil agam go mbeidh siad in ann brú a chur ar oifig an Tánaiste agus oifig an Taoisigh leis an éagóir iomlán seo a chur ina cheart arís.
