Question 187: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the steps he will take to raise the question of a review or pardon of Mr. Leonard Peltier's case with the American Embassy in Dublin. [25407/12]

I am aware that Leonard Peltier is a US citizen who was convicted in 1977 of the murders of two FBI Agents and was sentenced to two consecutive terms of life imprisonment. I also understand that a campaign has been mounted over the years seeking to overturn this conviction. I do not propose to make representations on this case.
