Before Leaders' Questions we will have a minute's silence to commemorate the Srebrenica massacre. We will now, as agreed, pause to mark the anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. I commend the ongoing voluntary work of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Association of Ireland to keep this matter in the public eye. We are fortunate to have many Bosnians living here in Ireland who are actively involved with their communities, many of them, of course, deeply impacted by the events of 1995. Therefore, it is important that we stand for a minute's silence to indicate that we remember those who lost their lives and those who are still suffering. Ar dheis Dé go raibh siad go léir.
