Global Irish Economic Forum: The Department of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday issued a report on the proceedings of the diaspora meeting last month at Farmleigh House in Dublin, where science policy and branding Ireland gets a lot of focus. Green Party minister Eamon Ryan promoted "green tech" initiatives at the gathering but he appears to be both for and against science given his support for pandering to ignorance by seeking to have Ireland declared a country where all food items linked to genetic modification (GM) will be banned.
