Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 February 2005
79 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the recent conviction of a person (details supplied) on charges of aiding and abetting terrorism; and if he has raised with the US authorities concerns regarding this case and the misuse of this law. [5531/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that on 10 February 2005 in New York city Ms Lynne Stewart, a civil rights lawyer, was found guilty on two counts of conspiring to provide material aid to terrorists and three counts of perjury and defrauding the US Government. Ms Stewart will be sentenced at a further hearing on 15 July 2005 and remains free on bail in the interim. I have not raised this case with the US authorities.
