[Deputy Eamon Gilmore.] Questions— 14 February 2012. Written Answers mistreatment by Israeli authorities. Mr. Adnan was originally detained on 17 December and is at present held in a civilian hospital in Israel where he is being attended by civilian medical staff, not by military or prison doctors. He has been visited on four occasions so far by the International Committee of the Red Cross. I am however concerned that his hunger strike may now be reaching the point where his health could be seriously endangered. We have raised this case with our partners at EU level in Israel, and are monitoring the situation closely. Unfortunately, States facing serious terrorist threat sometimes have to enact emergency powers, and it cannot be denied that Israel faces such threats. But any such powers should be as minimal as possible, carefully safeguarded and in accordance with international law. The present requirement in Israel is that detention orders be regularly renewed, and the evidence on which they are sought presented to the judge. Nonetheless, and particularly in a situation where the Palestinian population live under permanent military rule, there is a clear risk of the abuse of such powers. I am concerned that detention orders, rather than an extraordinary measure only applied in the most exceptional cases, are used as part of the broader system of control of Palestinians and of legitimate protest as well as violent action. Nor can it be right that such detention orders be renewed indefinitely, without a case coming to trial. I therefore support the call of NGOs and others that this practice be brought to an end. Ireland and our EU partners have represented these views to the Israeli authorities for some time, and the number of cases of administrative detention has fallen during that period. We will continue to press on this issue. Diplomatic Representation 129. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the amount that has been spent on Irish embassies, by location, for each of the past five years. [8025/12] Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (Deputy Eamon Gilmore): Our Missions abroad are involved in a wide range of activities which include representing and advancing government policies with other States and in international organisations; economic and cultural promotion; frontline consular and passport services to Irish citizens overseas; engaging with Irish communities and harnessing the resource they offer in assisting economic recovery; and managing programmes, particularly in Irish Aid priority countries The budget of each overseas Mission for 2007 to 2011 is provided in the table below. These budgets are considered to be the locally-devolved administrative budget, including local staff salaries but not salaries of diplomatic staff, which are a charge on the Headquarters budget. Likewise, my Department’s small capital budget is not allocated to missions on an ongoing basis but is managed from Headquarters. The Missions highlighted in bold manage significant programmes on behalf of Irish Aid, funded from Vote 29. These budgets reflect the additional management and oversight required for the effective implementation of those important programmes.
