US embassy cable - 05DUBLIN366

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.

(S) On March 24, Stephen Dawson, deputy director of the DFA's 
Middle East section,told POL/ECON Chief that Ireland would 
look for an opportunity to raise Iraqi government formation 
with Iranian officials and dissuade them from interfering. 
He felt that Ireland's voice alone would not carry much 
weight.  Asked if Ireland would favor an EU approach, he said 
Ireland would defer to the EU 3's view and would not want to 
raise any issues that would complicate talks on Iran's 
nuclear capabilities.
