Mary Coughlan: I have no record of any ministerial-led trade missions having being organised to Israel. There is quite a modest level of activity by that agency's client companies in Israel and, accordingly, scarce resources are prioritized for other country markets which offer higher potential.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Nov 2023)
