I am looking forward to speaking with Foreign Minister Marise Payne on a suitable occasion in the near future, in follow-up to my discussion last October with the Australian Ambassador.  In this regard our Ambassador in Canberra is in direct contact with Minister Payne's office.

Through these and other high-level contacts, Ireland is maintaining excellent relations with Australia despite the pandemic travel restrictions.
