View answerIn January 2019, the then Taoiseach attended the World Economic Forum’s annual event in Davos, Switzerland.
While I have received invitations from the World Economic Forum (WEF) to attend their annual forum in 2021, which was ultimately cancelled, and their planned forum in May this year, I have not personally been in contact with them.
Officials in my Department have been in contact with the WEF, by email and phone, in relation to the then Taoiseach’s 2019 visit; his subsequent cancelled visit in 2020; and invitations to me to the cancelled 2021 annual forum and the planned 2022 Forum.
