I have not received any protests or representations from any African Governments about this matter. I have received representations, from nine organisations and individuals, located in a small number of African countries. The majority of these would appear to be in response to a request which emanated from an organisation located in Ireland which has been opposed to the continuation of the production at the Irish plant.
