Comment on this

Ireland today, the bulletin of the Department of Foreign Affairs is published twice monthly with the exception of August. It covers Irish foreign policy and summaries developments in Ireland in the economic, political and social spheres. The bulletin is distributed abroad directly from the Department in Dublin and is available, on request, through the Department or through our embassies abroad.

Would the Minister ensure that texts of speeches are accurate in future? Wrong information does not impress anybody in Los Angeles or San Francisco.

Comment on this

I assure the Deputy I pay at least as much attention to accuracy and veracity as others. I shall just leave it at that.
