Ann Cahill, Europe Correspondent

The minister, who has travelled about 40,000 miles since being appointed in April by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, is speaking to governments in Europe about a major reform plan for the UN.

In an interim report he will deliver today to the summit of the Council of Europe in Warsaw, Mr Ahern will identify a number of areas where countries are finding it difficult to agree.
