Trade Between Ireland and the Palestinian Territories: Discussion
Marie Sherlock (Labour) | Oireachtas source
Cuirim fáilte roimh Mr. Bertie Ó hAinmhire, Mr. Hugh Lovatt agus Mr. Martin Konený. Táimid an-bhuíoch as a bhfocail ar maidin agus as a bhfeachtas agus a n-obair ar son daoine Palaistíneacha chun deireadh a chur leis an ansmacht sa Phalaistín.
I thank the speakers. We are very grateful to Sadaka and to Mr. Lovatt and Mr. Konený for all their work in this area. There is a large amount of frustration with the failure to enact the occupied territories Bill. I have a question about the enforceability or the practical implications of the Bill or the arrangement the witnesses are proposing. With regard to the UN database of companies involved in settlements, is that something the witnesses are proposing specifically for the Israeli settlements or is it for all occupied territories across the world? Perhaps they could give us more detail on that.
