170. To ask the Taoiseach further to Parliamentary Question No. 173 of 3 February 2015, the reason the national flag was not flown at half-mast over Government Buildings on the occasions of the deaths of the President of Malawi, Mr. Bingu wa Mutharika, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Mr. Meles Zenawi, and the President of Zambia, Mr. Michael Sata, all of whom died in office, as Ireland has close connections with these countries through the provision of Irish Aid and through having embassies assigned to them.
