There has been no leaking of correspondence from my Department in relation to preparations for the referendum on the Reform Treaty. The press reports concerning allegedly leaked correspondence appear to relate to communications between a resident Embassy in Ireland and its own Foreign Ministry. It would not be appropriate for the Government to comment on such matters.
