58. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if he has held a meeting with the Minister of State with special responsibility for Defence regarding the development in the Golan Heights in which Irish soldiers are assisting. [21485/18]
View answerIn my capacity as Minister with Responsibility for Defence, I regularly update the Taoiseach on a range of Defence related issues.
The Taoiseach was kept fully informed on developments on the Golan Heights last week, where shelling and rocket attacks were reported. All Irish Defence Forces personnel were reported safe and accounted for in their deployment with UNDOF following the incident. The situation in the Golan Heights is being closely monitored and the Taoiseach will continue to be kept fully updated on any developments in the area.
