As a member of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs I try to have an active role in finding the best stance for Ireland to take on international issues.
I have I have a strong interest in conflict prevention, resolution and reconciliation and consider it a privilege to be in a position to influence national policy on these areas.


Some key areas of foreign policy for me include the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, rendition, treatment of refugees and the environmental implications of conflict.

I am also on the Sub-Committee of Human Rights, my role as Spokesperson on Overseas strengthens my contributions to this committee. The Sub-Committee was established to consider all aspects of international human rights, including the role of the United Nations in this field.  I have also requested that we obtain direction from Louise Arbour, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on what areas the Committee should focus on.
