US embassy cable - 05DUBLIN1453

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: IRELAND SHARES USG CONCERNS OVER RUSSIAN DRAFT LAW 
ON NGOS 
 
REF: SECSTATE 212899 
 
Classified By: POL/ECON CHIEF MARY DALY, FOR REASONS 1.4 (B), (D) 
 
(C) On November 28, emboff delivered reftel points to 
Department of Foreign Affairs Eastern Europe and Central Asia 
Deputy Director Ruaidhri Dowling.  Dowling said that the GOI 
shares the USG's concern that the new Russian draft law could 
be used to constrain NGO activities and added that this law 
may lead to severe consequences for Russian civil society. 
According to Dowling, since the UK Presidency is 
communicating the EU's concern directly to the GOR, Ireland 
is unlikely to take any high level bilateral action on this 
matter.
