Question:

64 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform if the Government will be sponsoring the attendance of any Irish Women's Organisations at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing which is to take place from 30 August 1995, to 8 September 1995; if this sponsorship will be on a basis similar to that which applied in the case of non-Government organisations which attended the Cairo conference in September 1994; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Equality and Law Reform (Mr. Taylor)

I hope to be in a position to offer financial assistance to some women's organisations to attend the conference in Beijing. No decision has yet been taken on the details.
