At the last meeting we agreed to request a report from the Minister regarding Ireland's position on proposals for a UN convention on human cloning. The Minister's reply is as follows: Ireland supported the Costa Rican draft resolution at the UN which proposed an international convention to prohibit all forms of cloning. However, a motion to defer consideration of the issue, proposed by Iran, was passed by a narrow margin. Ireland voted against the motion.
