Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Spring)

I refer the Deputy to my written reply to Question No. 45 of 12 November 1996, in which I have outlined the current steps being taken by the Government and the EU in order to convey our concerns to the Sudanese authorities about the need to pursue the peace process in Sudan and to provide assistance to those who have suffered from the conflict.
