US embassy cable - 04DUBLIN1403

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.  Emboff, drawing on reftel points, spoke on September 21 
to First Secretary Aine Hearns at the DFA's Development 
Cooperation Ireland office.  Hearns stated that the GOI will 
not be sending anyone to the Tokyo Donors' Conference in 
October due to shortage of staff.  The GOI pledged 3 million 
euros in Madrid to Iraqi development, mostly to UNICEF 
projects in primary education. To date, Ireland has paid 1.25 
million euro, 250,000 euros of which have gone to Assisting 
Marsh Arabs and Refugees (AMAR) in developing health 
rehabilitation programs for the Marsh Arabs.  The GOI's 
future contributions hinge on a "wait and see" attitude, and 
the success of its current contributions in Iraq. 
 
2.  Minimize considered.
