Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

The response to the Irish mission has been very positive in the refugee camps in Darfur and the refugees themselves and their leaders are very anxious to have the Irish stay.

Consider the Medevac facilities provided by the UN to ensure the mission will be well supported in terms of any evacuation that could occur, bearing in mind the possibility of an extension beyond March. Is the Minister happy with the level of facilities by comparison with the greater level provided when the mission was under the aegis of EUFOR?
