To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the contact he or any Minister in his Department have had with any minister or official in the government of Israel since January 2014; the nature of these contacts, the purpose of these contacts; if a record was kept; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform I met with then Israeli Ambassador to Ireland Ze'ev Boker at his request to discuss bilateral relations in April 2017. Since my appointment as Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform in December 2022 I have had no direct engagement with the Israeli Government or officials.

I can confirm that the Ministers of State in the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP and Reform have not had any engagement with the Israeli government or officials since January 2014.
