177 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Finance the international multilateral agreements under the auspices of his Department which have been signed but not ratified or acceded to by the State; the date and place it was opened for signature in each case; the international organisation through whose machinery the agreement was negotiated; if it is proposed to ratify or accede to the agreement; if so, when; if legislation is required; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Finance (Mr. McCreevy)

In order to prepare a reply to the Deputy's question, it has been necessary to gather material from sections throughout my Department. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to assemble and check the material adequately in the time available. I will write to the Deputy with the information sought at the earliest opportunity.
