We also signal our support for the work of the Irish Syria Solidarity Movement in highlighting that and in calling on the Government to do all it can to push for a ceasefire and an end to attacks on civilians. I have circulated the motion and I would be grateful if other group leaders would come back to me in regard to it. In October 2016 we in the Seanad led the way in agreeing a cross-party motion condemning the bombardment of Aleppo, which we brought to the attention of the Russian ambassador, given the complicity of the Russian regime in Bashar al-Assad's brutal regime in Syria. I thank colleagues for their support in the past on these important cross-party motions on such an horrific humanitarian crisis.
