Mr. Ronnie Downes:

No. Ireland is part of the EU and trade relations with third countries - Israel is a third country - are subject to the EU's commercial policy. It is an EU competency. We influence the EU discussion and engagement. The former Taoiseach and the Spanish Prime Minister have taken an initiative with a view to influencing that engagement. We will see how that develops at EU level. Ireland cannot act alone. We act as part of the EU on trade matters. We cannot enter into a free trade agreement with Liechtenstein, which might be a bad example, or South Africa or whoever. That has to be done via the EU.
