Ireland’s Views to the US
Quinn asks whether Ireland should use its historical ties with the US to challenge its Central America policy; the Taoiseach says Ireland does not miss opportunities to convey its views to the administration and Congress.
Deputies Ruairí Quinn and Pat Rabbitte are offering. I want to facilitate both Deputies. Perhaps they will be brief.
Comment on this
Notwithstanding what the Taoiseach has said in relation to the strength of the 12 member states acting together, would he not agree that because of the long ties, historical and familial, and indeed friendship between this country and the United States, we have a unique opportunity and perhaps responsibility to tell our friends that we and many other European countries think they are misguided in relation to Central America?
