Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Israel's Apartheid against Palestinians: Amnesty International
Mr. Colm O'Gorman:
Deputy Brady mentioned the Control of Economic Activities (Occupied Territories) Bill, and I recognise that Senator Black has joined the committee. That recommendation is in the overall report. It is a recommendation to all states. Ireland now has an opportunity to show exceptional leadership. It is a big and brave step, but it is really important. We would encourage the Oireachtas and Government to get behind the Bill and allow it to pass through the Oireachtas as the clear will of the Parliament. Enacting that legislation would be a significant step forward, and we hope that others will follow.
