240. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if a cost-benefit analysis has been undertaken by his Department on the impact of Ireland signing the Antarctic treaty; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48314/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised that the co-ordination of the Government position in relation to the ratification of the Antarctic Treaty is a matter for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
I can confirm, however, that my Department has not carried out a cost benefit analysis of the nature referred to by the Deputy.
