In the past six months I have spoken directly with my Australian counterpart on one occasion, by phone on the 30thJuly. This call is an example of ongoing dialogue between Finance Minister counterparts across all countries, which has become ever more important during the current Covid-19 pandemic and its associated impact on international travel and engagement.
This engagement provided an opportunity to engage constructively on the strong relationship between our countries, the Covid-19 pandemic and the global economic situation, and the many areas of common interest and engagement shared by Ireland and Australia.
