Government Response to Amnesty Appeal

Summary

Mr. Quinn asked whether the Government would oppose Amnesty’s effort to abolish capital punishment worldwide; the Minister and Ceann Comhairle treated it as a separate question.

Can I take it that the Government will be giving a negative reply to the attempts which will be made this year by Amnesty to have capital punishment abolished throughout the world and that the Government will not be responding to that request?

Comment on this

That is a separate question.

That is an entirely separate question. Question No. 24.

Comment on this

Will Amnesty not be able to draw their own conclusions in that respect?

I have called Question No. 24.
