Written answers

Minister for Foreign Affairs (Deputy Micheál Martin)

There are two parliamentary questions outstanding. PQ 6455/10 (relating to portable electrical equipment) and part of PQ12976/10 (a list of people who have participated in election monitoring missions since 2003) remain unanswered as a consequence of industrial action to date in 2010. Replies to the Deputies concerned are currently being finalised by my Department, and will be forwarded at the earliest opportunity.
