I propose to take Questions Nos. 30 and 31 together.
I maintain regular contact with Prime Minister Blair. I spoke with him most recently on 5 October last, when I telephoned him to offer my condolences and the condolences of the Government and the people of Ireland, following the London rail disaster. We also discussed the ongoing review of the Good Friday Agreement, taking place under the chairmanship of Senator Mitchell. I met Gerry Adams, President of Sinn Féin, on 2 October last. Our discussions focused on the review and the achievement of a successful outcome.
