174. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the reason Ireland agreed to reconvene the European Union-Israel Association Council in October 2022, given Israel's actions on the ground in Palestine show it remains a serial human rights abuser and international law violator. [47708/22]

I refer the Deputy to my previous answer to PQ 46070/22 on 21 September. 

Further to my reply on 21 September, agreement has now been reached on an EU position, which sends a clear and robust message on the important issues and priorities which Ireland has prioritised. The EU-Israel Association Council will take place on 3 October in Brussels.
