Vol. 497 No. 3
29 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands if she will give a report on Ireland's proposal to create an international whale sanctuary; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24841/98]
I refer the Deputy to my reply to Questions Nos. 373 and 374 of 6 October last. The process of informal dialogue and discussion among member countries of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) is continuing and Ireland, through the IWC, is facilitating this process.
