Ireland’s trade with Israel currently amounts to over €1bn per annum. Israel is an important trading partner and under its trade promotion strategy, the Government is committed to growing Ireland’s exports in all foreign markets, and expanding our trade footprint outside our main trading partners. The export and import figures are laid out below.

Please note that these figures correct figures given in my reply to Question 134 on 16 October, which asked for similar data. There were inadvertent errors in the table attached to that reply.
