Vol. 379 No. 9

Written Answers. - Nicaragua Request.

28.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will request the Irish Ambassador at the United Nations to press for a UN force to be sent to Nicaragua as requested by President Daniel Ortega recently.

While there have been exchanges between Nicaragua and Honduras about deployment of a multinational force to guarantee the stability of the border between the two countries, there is no formal request before the United Nations for a UN force for this purpose. In the absence of such a request from the countries directly concerned, Ireland has no function in the matter, which would be for consideration in the first instance by the organs of the United Nations.
