Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 October 2012
143. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he has been in contact with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently about developments in the Middle East; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42926/12]
View answerI was pleased to be able to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu during my visit to the Middle East in January, and to have a good discussion with him on a range of issues. I have reported to the House on my discussions during that visit. I have not been in contact with Prime Minister Netanyahu more recently. As he has now called a general election in Israel, it is perhaps less likely that I will be doing so in the forthcoming period.
