US embassy cable - 04DUBLIN1789

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.

SUBJECT: IRELAND: 2004 ANNUAL TERRORISM REPORT 
 
REF: A. STATE 245841 
 
     B. DUBLIN 001691 03 
 
1. Per ref A, Ireland was not included in the 2003 Annual 
Terrorism Report and there are no significant developments 
that would merit its inclusion this year, nor are there 
significant changes to information reported in ref B. 
 
2. Per ref B, as of December 14, the GOI had not acted to 
pass legislation criminalizing international terrorism, 
implementing the EU Framework decision, and ratifying the 
remaining four of 12 UN anti-terrorism conventions.  When 
passed (expected in early 2005), the Bill, introduced in 
December 2002, will give effect in Irish law to the European 
Union's Framework decision on Combating Terrorism as well as 
a number of United National Conventions directed to specific 
manifestations of international terrorism.  Debates and 
discussions regarding this bill have cleared committees and 
must proceed through the formalities of votes in the lower 
house (December 2004) and upper house (January 2005) of Irish 
parliament.  The Irish president is expected to sign this 
bill into law by Mid-February.
