Seán Ó Fearghaíl

Question:

Written answers

My Department has not conducted a cost benefit analysis on the impact of Ireland signing the Antarctic Treaty. As the Deputy will be aware, principal responsibility for international treaties and agreement lies with my colleague, the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. In that regard, I would draw the Deputy's attention to his answer to Parliamentary Question 65 of the 17th of October.
