asked the Minister for External Affairs if he is now in a position to publish the text of the Notes exchanged between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United States concerning Ireland's attitude to the Atlantic Pact while Britain continues to occupy portion of our territory.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Ireland's Attitude to Atlantic Pact.
I am taking steps to obtain the concurrence of the United States Government for the publication of the aides-mémoire referred to.
Is the Minister satisfied that, as a result of the exchange of Notes referred to, our inflexible determination to recover our six invaded counties is appreciated and understood in the United States of America?
That is a separate question.
I cannot answer as to what the American people understand. I can merely state that, in so far as any communications received from the Irish Government are concerned, the American Government can be under no doubt on that question.
