Senator Rónán Mullen spoke about the briefing session this morning with Aid to the Church in Need. It was absolutely wonderful. That there is genocide in the Middle East is tragic. I support the idea of an all-party motion and we should get cracking on it right away. The Senator also expressed his support for the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and is seeking a debate on the Government's commitment to people with dementia. I will add that item to the list I will discuss with the Leader.

Senator Jim D'Arcy supported Senator Rónán Mullen on the persecution of Christians and would welcome the tabling of a motion on the issue. Please God, it is a matter with which we will deal. The Senator also referred to the Minister for Justice and Equality and the establishment of a special task force. Obviously, I agree totally with him. As he said, the people in question are not republicans in the true sense of the word. I agree that we need a task force in which Revenue should be involved. The Garda will never defeat the people in question on its own, given that they are full-time professional criminals. The task force needs to include members of the Garda, Revenue, the Customs service, the Criminal Assets Bureau and its Northern equivalent, as well as the EPA. As the Senator said, we are not being prescriptive; the details can be worked out. Let us get on with the work involved.

Senator Martin Conway agreed with what was said about the briefing this morning. It made us understand the suffering being endured which we might not have fully realised. He also supported the idea of an all-party motion on the issue. We need to respect other people's beliefs. The Senator is right in that regard.

I think Senator Terry Brennan was only referring to friendly fire from the Opposition, but I will not go down that road. I will just repeat what I have said - the Garda Training College in Templemore has reopened.
