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.

E.O. 12958: DECL: 10/22/2014
TAGS: PGOV, PARM, PREL, EUN
SUBJECT: IRELAND IN LINE WITH USG OBJECTIVES ON LIBYA
REF: A. STATE 221188
B. DUBLIN 1450
Classified By: Political-Economic Counselor Mary Dale; Reasons 1.5 (B)
and (D).
1. (C) On October 22, Post delivered reftel talking points
on Libya to Stephen Dawson, Department of Foreign Affairs
(DFA) First Secretary for the Middle East, and Paul Barnwell,
DFA First Secretary for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation.
Dawson said that Ireland shared USG interest in monitoring
arms transfers to Libya with the lifting of the EU arms
embargo. Neither he nor Barnwell knew, however, when the EU
"toolbox" for monitoring arms sales would be ready. Barnwell
believed that the Dutch presidency would be best placed to
provide that information. Dawson recalled that Ireland had
not been in the lead among Member States to lift the embargo
(ref B). He added that since Ireland was in a minority of
Member States on the issue, the GOI had not been inclined to
block movement toward the embargo's removal.
