Sir, - I felt very proud of the Taoiseach's attendance and speech at the UN conference on HIV/AIDS in New York. I was especially pleased to read that he advocated debt relief and in some cases debt cancellation for the countries afflicted with this disease.
Considering that these affected people had no part in incurring this debt this was indeed good news. I hope now that the Minister for Finance can bring his weight to bear at the upcoming meeting of the G8 in Genoa. - Yours, etc.,
