305 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the progress made on negotiations with the Belorussian authorities to secure continuance of Irish charitable projects working to provide summer holiday opportunities for children from the Chernobyl region in Ireland, and at Christmas time; if continuance of such Irish projects will be governed by a new three year term regulation whereby visiting children from the Chernobyl region who may have stayed with Irish families for three years may not be permitted to return to Ireland again; his views on whether the introduction of such a new regulation will cause heartbreak for many children from the Chernobyl region and for many families from all parts of Ireland particularly since Irish charities and the people of Ireland have been the biggest contributors of support, including international humanitarian aid to the Belorussian community since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 26 April 1986; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
