Annual Report on Ireland’s UN Activities
De Rossa asked for an annual report to the House on Ireland’s UN activities. Barry requested clarification, suggesting the matter could be included in the debate on his Department’s Estimate or referred to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges.
Does the Minister accept that it would help Deputies and the public if there was an annual report to the House on Ireland's activities in the UN?
Comment on this
I would need notice of that question because I am not quite sure what the Deputy has in mind. I do not know if he means that my Department would draw up a report on the work of the UN and that we would have a debate on it. If so, that can be done and I would probably include it in the debate on my Estimate. Perhaps he would like the UN to supply a report which we would debate. That would be a matter for the Committee on Procedure and Privileges.
