Israel-Ireland ambassador

Summary

The Minister said he could not publicly speculate on exchanging resident ambassadors with Israel; such arrangements are reviewed in light of international interests and resources.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs when it is proposed to make arrangements for a resident ambassador from Israel in Ireland.

Comment on this

It would be inappropriate and contrary to international practice to speculate publicly on the question of the exchange of resident ambassadors between Ireland and Israel or indeed any other country where we do not already maintain a resident embassy as this would be a matter for discussion between the Irish Government and any other government concerned. The exchange of residential embassies with other countries is a matter which is kept under continuous review in the light of our international interests and the availability of the necessary resources.
