Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Question 105: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the extent to which he, through the EU and UN, has managed to focus worldwide attention on the on-going and ever increasing extent of starvation and famine in the Sudan and throughout the horn of Africa; if the international community can take any particular initiative at this stage which might result in a co-ordinated relief and peace-keeping effort with a view to achieving some degree of recognition of the plight of people there; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
