The head of the Foreign Ministry department responsible for Irish affairs told Ireland's ambassador to Israel that 'this does not contribute to the peace process in any way.'

Palestinian delegation in Ireland will be upgraded to an official embassy, following France and Spain; U.K., Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Germany and Denmark expected to follow.

Cable sent in 2006 indicates that the Irish government has been making it increasingly difficult for American weapons shipments to Israel to pass through its airport.

Officials agree banks must be stabilized in order to prevent financial crisis from spreading.
