The Taoiseach

I propose to take Questions Nos. 55 to 57, inclusive, together.

There are no international multilateral agreements under the auspices of my Department which have been signed but not ratified or acceded to by the State. There are none which have not been signed by the State and there are none currently being negotiated or prepared.
