Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2023
486. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Education the engagements her Department, or any agency or body under her direction, has had with the Government of Israel, any state body of the Government of Israel, or any engagement within or with Israel, in 2021, 2022 and to date in 2023; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47803/23]
View answerI can confirm that no engagements with the Government of Israel or any State bodies thereof took place with my Department during the years 2021 or 2022.
Officials in my Department met with officials of the Israeli Ministry of Education and representatives of the Myers-JDC Brookdale Institute (Israel’s leading centre for applied social research) in March of 2023. The purpose of this meeting was to learn from and have an exchange with Department officials on key educational issues of interest. The information in respect of State bodies is not held by my Department. Contact details for these bodies are set out here should the Deputy wish to contact them directly with this query.
