Frances Black (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

On behalf of the Civil Engagement Group, I offer condolences to the friends and family of Private Seán Rooney, the Irish soldier who was killed in Lebanon. The soldier who was injured, Private Shane Kearney, is also very much in my thoughts. I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. It is an horrific and awful tragedy. My thoughts are with all of the soldiers serving in Lebanon and their families who are no doubt worried sick about them. Irish peacekeepers are the pride of our nation. They are ambassadors of our shared commitment to peace, solidarity and human rights. We owe them a great debt.
