As a founding member, Ireland attaches particular importance to the Council of Europe and its institutions. For that reason, my colleague the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Micheál Martin, has accepted an invitation from the Chairman of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, Foreign Minister Moratinos of Spain, to attend a specially convened meeting of the Committee of Ministers in Madrid on 12 May 2009, which is intended to mark the 60th anniversary.
