US embassy cable - 04DUBLIN1755

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.

REF: STATE 248010 
 
On December 1, Emboff delivered reftel points to UN Desk 
Officer for International Terrorism and Drugs at the DFA, 
Eoin Duggan.  Duggan said that Ireland and its EU partners 
fully support the uncompromising stance of the Afghan 
authorities on cultivation and trafficking in illicit drugs 
and the counternarcotics implementation plan (reftel). 
Duggan stated that the GOI is very concerned about the 
cultivation of opium products in Afghanistan, especially 
because almost all heroin consumed in Ireland comes from 
Afghanistan.  Duggan stated that Irish concern for 
Afghanistan is also evident in the high number of Irish 
officers deployed to ISAF (seven).  Over the past three 
years, the GOI contributed euro 500,000 per annum to the UN 
Office of Drugs and Crimes (ODC).  Of that amount, euro 
300,000 went to counternarcotics projects in South Asia. 
Duggan anticipates that GOI contributions will remain the 
same and will continue to be channeled through multilateral 
efforts.
