US embassy cable - 05DUBLIN1110

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.

On September 8, emboff delivered ref A points to Brian 
Mullen, Principal Officer, Community Health Division, 
Department of Health and Children (and GOI point-of-contact 
on avian flu, per ref B).  Mullen said that Ireland agrees 
with the Core Principles of the International Partnership on 
Avian and Pandemic Influenza (IPAPI).  He also said that 
Ireland is interested in partnering with IPAPI countries, but 
it is unclear to him what additional benefits such a 
partnership would bring, considering current global efforts 
already in place to stem the spread of avian flu.  He added 
that he will consult with the Minister of Health, Mary 
Harney, as well as Irish Department of Foreign Affairs 
officials before committing Ireland to full IPAPI membership.
