Last week, the Tánaiste said that he believes "and will be calling for sanctions to be applied to extreme terrorist settlers on the West Bank." He went further still and said that Ireland must appear to act unilaterally and introduce our own travel bans if the EU cannot agree to these types of sanctions against those settlers. I will ask the Tánaiste a very direct question and I would appreciate a direct answer. Would those sanctions, which I very much welcome, be applied to extreme settlers in the Israeli Government who have also expressed the most horrific viewpoints over the last while? I refer, for example, to Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.
Will they come under these sanctions?
