SUBJECT: IRELAND MAY CONTRIBUTE TO SPECIAL TRIBUNAL FOR
LEBANON FUND
REF: SECSTATE 129919
Classified By: Political/Economic Section Chief Theodore S.
Pierce for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)
(C) Ireland supports the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, but
making a financial contribution to it may be difficult,
according to Deputy Director Stephen Dawson, Middle East and
North Arica Section, Department of Foreign Affairs, to whm
POLOFF delivered reftel demarche on September 0. Most of
Ireland's aid is funneled through IrihAid, Dawson explained,
and very little funding is earmarked for solely political
purposes. Ireland is inclined to contribute to the trust
fund, he continued, but the amount available may be small.
In anticipation of the UN letter inviting Member States to
make contributions to the trust fund, Dawson concluded, he
will begin making inquires into what funding, if any, may be
available for contribution.
