From the Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Home Civil Service
Sir Robin Butler GCB CVO
22 April 1993
Ref: A093/1350

Dear William,

In the course of a conversation today about another matter, Frank Murray asked sir Robin Butler whether the Prime Minister would be available to see the Taoiseach either on Wednesday 16 June or Thursday 17 June. Having spoken to Mr Lyne it seems that the Prime Minister would be free on the afternoon of Wednesday 16 June, but Sir Robin would be grateful if the Northern Ireland Office and the Foreign Office could consider the request that the Prime Minister should see the Taoiseach on this date as part of the work already underway in response to Mr Lyne's letter to you of 16 April. I should be grateful if you could let me know the outcome in due course.

I am copying this letter to John Sawers (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) and to Roderic Lyne.

Yours ever,
Melanie
