Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 February 2005
300 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if evidence exists that computer components with defence implications are being purchased in the US by Irish business interests and exported from Ireland to Russia; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4571/05]
View answerMy Department has not issued any export licences for computer components in respect of defence-related military end-uses in Russia, nor have any licence applications for such transactions been received. The Department is aware of recent media reports concerning possible trade of the kind referred to in the Deputy's question and is examining whether any export licensing regulations may have been contravened.
