Ceist:

115 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he, on behalf of the Government and during his term as President of the European Union Foreign Affairs Council of Ministers, has issued a complaint to the Government of Israel on the continuing restrictions on the movement of a person (details supplied) since their unjustifiable prison term.

Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Cowen)

The restrictions placed on the person named are currently the subject of proceedings before the Israeli courts. Outside interference in this case would not be helpful or appropriate while those proceedings are in train.
