‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Trade with South Africa. Embargo on Irish exports to South Africa
Summary
Briscoe asked whether the Government would embargo Irish exports in support of its call for an oil embargo. The Minister said the question should be directed to the relevant Minister, and Briscoe criticised the response as evasive.
In view of a speech made at the UN by the Irish Ambassador calling for an embargo on oil for South Africa, is it the intention of the Government to call for an embargo on Irish exports to South Africa to back up our Ambassador to the United Nations?
Comment on this
If the Deputy puts down a separate question to the relevant Minister he will deal with that.
Comment on this
Is the Minister of State going to put his money where his mouth is or is this just another empty exercise of the liberal statements which we hear which are not backed up?
