Ruairí Quinn

Ceist:

134 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he has received a letter from Trócaire urging the Government to invoke the terms of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide against Indonesia in view of the appalling activities of Indonesian forces in East Timor; if so, if he has responded to the request; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17747/99]

I would refer the Deputy to the statement that I made today in reply to priority questions on the subject.
