The Tánaiste said the Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe is “clear” he did “not make” any phone call to an Israeli minister about the Occupied Territories Bill.

Micheál Martin said he spoke to the Fine Gael minister on Thursday, and was clear that the reported phone call did not happen, nor does his published diary record any phone call.
