However, she is now no longer the party spokesperson for the brief.
Party sources said TDs were reshuffled spokesperson positions as they were assigned committee roles in recent days.
Asked at Leinster House today if it was true she was no longer Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Ms Gibney confirmed: “Yes, and there will be a statement from the party.”
She would not answer questions on whether she is leaving the party.
Gibney has been vocal on Gaza and last week would not rule out resigning form the party if Eoin Hayes was readmitted.
