US embassy cable - 05DUBLIN1081

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 IRAQ: PRESENTATION OF A DRAFT 
CONSTITUTION 
 
REF: SECSTATE 158420 
 
Paul Gunning, first secretary for Middle Eastern affairs, 
told POL/ECON chief that the GOI can offer its political 
support to Iraq as it prepares for the October 15 referendum 
on the constitution.  He cited FM Ahern's positive comments 
to the press on the subject, and said that Ireland stands 
behind the EU statement as well. He noted that Ireland would 
be unlikely to offer experts to assist the Iraqis.  He also 
said that because Ireland does not have a mission in Iraq, it 
funnels its assistance through the EU.  Gunning is filling in 
for the Iraq desk officer, and promised to alert post if the 
GOI is prepared to respond more robustly.
