I remind the Deputy that the current Israeli ambassador appears to be far more active in public and political engagement than any of her recent predecessors. In fact, under our private business, we have a request from the ambassador to address the committee. She has appeared at the committee on more than one occasion without the benefit of speaking. I know that she is very keen to engage with us and that she has ongoing engagement with the Department. I do not see a justifiable reason for ongoing questioning of the Minister of State in that regard, when the ambassador herself is active.
