As the House is aware from answers to previous parliamentary questions, the Government are making extensive and continuous inquiries with the Iranian and other Governments regarding the whereabouts and well-being of Mr. Brian Keenan. While I appreciate the Deputy's suggestion I do not believe that an all-party delegation along the lines suggested would be appropriate at the present time.
