For Ireland, and for any troop contributing country, I imagine, keeping safe the women and men we deploy as peacekeepers is always to the forefront of our minds.
We remember today those who have given their lives in the cause of peace, and the loved ones they left behind. We should spare no effort in bringing those responsible for attacks on peacekeepers to justice.
As the ones who decide to send our peacekeepers into the most difficult contexts, we all have a responsibility to look at how we contribute - collectively and individually - to the safety and security of those women and men.

Thank you, Mr President, and my thanks to all the briefers that we’ve heard from today. As ever, your insights give us a fuller picture of the challenges facing the Sahel region and your prognoses for the way forward are incredibly important to our thinking. I’m also very grateful, as ever, to Ambassador Abarry for the A3 statement and the insights there, too.
