Ceist:48 Ms F. Fitzgerald asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Nigerian military Government is operating an oppressive martial law regime in the Ogoni region of that country which is obstructing rehabilitation and relief work involving the expenditure of an EU grant of 340,000 ECU and a substantial grant from a leading Irish non-Government organisation; and if he will protest directly to the Nigerian Government about this matter or raise the matter at EU level.
