US embassy cable - 05DUBLIN323

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: IRISH RESPONSE TO AUSTRALIA GROUP DEMARCHES 
 
REF: A. STATE 41247 
     B. STATE 39371 
     C. STATE 36488 
 
Classified By: Political-Economic Counselor Mary E. Daly; Reasons 1.4 ( 
B) and (D). 
 
1.  (C) On March 15, Post delivered ref A demarche to Therese 
Healy, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Third Secretary 
for Disarmament and Nonproliferation.  Healy said that the 
GOI planned to participate actively along with EU partners in 
the Australia Group (AG) Plenary's Information Exchange (IE) 
and Enforcement Experts (EE) meetings in Sydney on April 
18-22.  She noted that DFA Counsellor for Disarmament and 
Nonproliferation Adrian McDaid would lead the Irish 
delegation and that DFA was soliciting participation from the 
Revenue (Customs) Commissioners Office and the export 
licensing unit of the Department of Enterprise, Trade, and 
Employment (DETE).  The GOI was also considering whether to 
draft and circulate a paper based on a recent independent 
review of Ireland's export control regime.  Healy believed 
that this decision would fall to DETE, which had requested 
the review. 
 
2.  (C) Earlier, on March 11, Post had provided to Healy the 
AG plenary proposals included in refs B and C.  Healy said 
that the GOI had no immediate response, but would discuss the 
proposals with EU partners during the March 16 meeting of the 
EU Working Group on UN Disarmament (CODUN) in Brussels.
