At the end of June an Irish Parliamentary delegation visited Taiwan on a 5 day trip to exchange views on Taiwan-Ireland relations, economic resilience and the situation in the Taiwan Strait. They met with many of Taiwan’s elected representatives across multiple government departments.
Doctor Cathal Berry who is an independent TD for the constituency of Kildare South was among the delegation, and I sat down with him at his office in Portarlington upon his return to talk about Ireland-Taiwan relations, re-opening Ireland’s trade office in Taipei and China Influence Operations in Ireland.
