Also, Ireland denies it all.

Ireland is keen to deepen its links with Israel, in particular through growth in tourism, commerce and investment, as well as more traditional sectors such as food and drink. I encourage visitors to our website to visit the websites of the tourism, culture, food and business promotion agencies working for the Irish Government, which can be accessed on this webpage. Ireland welcomes your interest and looks forward to supporting your interest in these sectors.

I am very conscious of the popularity of Irish culture in Israel today. It is exciting to see Israeli musicians participating in traditional Irish music "sessions" and bringing out their own CD's. Israeli dancers are also taking to the stage in increasing numbers to learn and perform Irish dance. At the Embassy, we will continue to do all we can to support these and other expressions of Irish culture in Israel.
