Another snag?
Martin flight delayed by hydraulic leak
Friday, 21 November 2008 19:50
Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin has had his return trip from Georgia delayed due to a technical problem on the Government jet.
The jet, which has recently been refurbished, is being checked for a hydraulic leak.
The Government delegation had been due to leave before lunchtime today but the leak delayed their departure and they are now scheduled to leave for Ireland later tonight.
The Minister had been holding talks with the Georgian government.
Minister Martin met Irish members of the EU military monitoring mission around the disputed boundary area between Georgia and the two break-away enclaves of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
He has also met ethnic Georgian refugees who are still unable to return to their villages following alleged ethnic cleansing by pro-Russian South Ossetian militia.
