Trade Between Ireland and the Palestinian Territories: Discussion

Mr. Bertie Ó hAinmhire:

When the database was developed in Geneva, it was a highly significant development to name those in the corporate world that are complicit with the war crimes that are Israel's settlement enterprise. The challenge now for Ireland is to ensure the database is used as an active document that should be fully financed and regularly updated. It is one of Sadaka's strong advocacy policies with representatives of the Oireachtas.

The database enables us to make active choices about who to give our business to. All the companies on the list are actively profiting from the denial of human rights to the Palestinian people and Sadaka is strongly of the view that Ireland should do everything possible to defend and protect this database and develop it further.
