SUBJECT: IRELAND'S RESPONSE TO BANGLADESH DEMARCHE

REF: SECSTATE 213215

On October 7, Post delivered reftel talking points to Niall
Brady, Department of Foreign Affairs Deputy Director for
Asia/Oceana. Brady said that the EU shared USG concerns
about increasing instability in Bangladesh and had issued a
statement condemning the August 21st attacks against
opposition leaders. Brady also stated that there was little
that Ireland could accomplish singularly since they do not
have an embassy in Dhaka. However, Brady said that
representatives of the EU Troika have met twice with the
Bangladeshi Government during the Dutch EU presidency to
voice concerns. In addition, a human rights working group in
Brussels has been a vehicle for the EU Member States to
exchange views on the situation in Bangladesh.
