704. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the investigations carried out by his Department into the activity of Israeli diplomats here, following the revelations of attempts to undermine MPs in Westminster, with particular reference to outlining the activities of the Friends of Israel Oireachtas group; if he has satisfied himself that no such interference has taken place here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The actions of Oireachtas Friendship Groups or their members is not a matter for my Department to monitor. If the Deputy considers that such activities may have been inappropriate this is a matter for the Oireachtas. It is the normal work of accredited diplomats to lobby host Governments and Parliaments on issues of importance to them. If the Deputy is aware of actions here by diplomats accredited to Ireland which might be considered inappropriate, she might bring them to my attention.
