The UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances issued in May 2009 a letter containing general allegations pertaining to Ireland. A detailed response to these allegations was sent to the Working Group in a letter of 15 January 2010 on behalf of the Government. This represented the Government's substantive response to the issues raised by the latter. The Government's response made clear, inter alia, that no evidence has ever emerged that any person has ever been subject to extraordinary rendition through Ireland.
