Vol. 270 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - International Red Cross Conference.

26.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if a delegate representing the Irish Government will be in attendance at the International Red Cross conference in Geneva later this month.

I assume the Deputy is referring to the Diplomatic Conference on the Reaffirmation and Development of International Humanitarian Law applicable to Armed Conflicts which begins in Geneva on 20th February. A delegation representing the Irish Government will be in attendance.

Would the Minister not ask our delegate there to raise the delicate matter of the previous question?

That depends on the considerations I have already mentioned. If at any stage it seems that an intervention of ours would be helpful rather than otherwise I would certainly take that line.
