Written answers

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade

The National Flag and the flag of the European Union are flown daily at Iveagh House. It is not the practice of my Department to fly other flags except on the occasion of a State Visit to Ireland when the flag of the visiting country is also flown from Iveagh House.
