Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 May 2004
89 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will detail reports that have been internally prepared or externally commissioned by his Department since 1 July 2003, indicating in all cases if they had been published; when they will be published; and if they are not intended for publication in relation to externally commissioned reports, the costs of the reports. [12803/04]
View answerI understand that the Deputy is seeking details of reports compiled by external consultants since 1 July 2003. The Department of Foreign Affairs is responsible for two Votes — Vote 28, foreign affairs, and Vote 29, international co-operation.
Vote 28: as part of preparations for Ireland's EU Presidency, two separate internal papers, in the area of conflict prevention, were commissioned from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, SIPRI, and from International Alert-Saferworld, non-governmental organisations operating in the area of conflict prevention. Publication of these papers is not foreseen. SIPRI and International Alert-Saferworld received funding from my Department to the value of €5,000 and €10,000, respectively, for their work in preparing the papers in question.
The Department engaged Indecon Consultants, at a cost of €9,090, to review a background document on Ireland's possible future engagement with the Arab world. It is not envisaged that this report will be published.
Vote 29: at appendix A are details of consultancies commissioned by the development co-operation directorate of this Department under Vote 29, international co-operation. These consultancies deal with a broad range of topics, with particular emphasis on appraisal and evaluation of development programmes, some of which are undertaken on behalf of partner Governments and partner organisations. The ensuing reports, with the exception of those specifically listed, are not generally published but are available from the development co-operation directorate on request.
