We are supporting the Bill. It is our hope that in voting for the Bill, we will enable peace to be brought forward some little way in the Middle East. I acknowledge the genuine concerns of the spokesperson for the Israeli people who have legitimate concerns, I believe, about the Bill. They must be listened to. As I said in my Second Stage speech, no nation in the history of mankind has suffered like the Jewish people. Any decisions we make here should always bear that in mind. It is quite conceivable that there will be legal opinion which will counteract what is being done here tonight. It is quite conceivable that, if and when the Bill reaches Dáil Éireann, certain amendments may be put down by all parties. We will look forward to that with interest.
