Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
1261. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Health if there are any further plans by representatives of the National Ambulance Service to travel to Israel; if future proposals in this regard will be re-evaluated considering the ongoing breaches of international law by Israel; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36368/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Ambulance Service consulted with my Department and The Department of Foreign Affairs in advance of its recent visit to Israel. Ireland’s bilateral relations with Israel encompass cooperation and exchanges across a wide range of sectors and the visit of the National Ambulance Service to their counterparts was important in this context. All such official cooperation strictly respects the delineation between Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory.
With regard to the further detail requested by the Deputy, as this is an operational matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly as soon as possible.
