View answerMy Department has had no engagements with the Palestinian Authority, any organ of the Palestinian Authority, or with any organisations within the Occupied Palestinian Territory, in the years 2021, 2022 and to-date in 2023.
Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday 6th October. As a consequence of this industrial action, members in these grades are not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
