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.

C O N F I D E N T I A L DUBLIN 001165 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: DECL: 12/14/2014 TAGS: PGOV, KTFN, PREL, PTER SUBJECT: IRELAND: UNLIKELY TO PUSH FOR LTTE DESIGNATION REF: STATE 172115 Classified By: POL/ECON CHIEF MARY DALY, FOR REASONS 1.4 (B), (D) (C) On September 20, Emboff delivered reftel points to Department of Foreign Affairs UN/International Terrorism and Illicit Drugs section First Secretary Maurice Biggar. Biggar said that Ireland has yet to take a decision on the designation of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) as a terrorist organization. He relayed that at last month's EU Clearinghouse, the GOI lodged no reservations on LTTE's designation, but did not actively support it either. He added that the status of LTTE will be a top agenda priority at the upcoming October 4 clearinghouse, due to the assassination of the Sri Lankan Foreign Minister. According to Biggar, the discussions of LTTE in terms of designation will center on the possible impact that a designation might have on the Peace Process. In the end, though, Biggar stated that Ireland will follow the EU consensus on the matter. KENNY
