Minister Ahern's review of Ireland's export controls

At the web address below you will see a press release from the Department of Trade, Enterprise and Employment about their review of our military and "dual use" exports regime in Ireland. At the end of the page is also a copy of their Phase I final report (.PDF).

Amnesty International Irish Section (http://www.amnesty.ie/) and AfrI (http://www.afri.buz.org/) have campaigned on this issue and released earlier reports on Ireland's significant arms trade.
