My meeting with the Prime Minister of Lebanon included discussion of the situation in the wider region. The Prime Minister expressed serious disquiet about the situation and his concern about how it is likely to impact on Lebanon. Ireland has long supported Lebanon through serious challenges and we are committed to continuing to do so. As Minister for Defence, and in consultation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, I will continue to monitor the situation. The security situation in the UNIFIL Area of Operations remains unpredictable but is continually kept under review by the Defence Forces.
