Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion

Mr. Nick Ashmore:

As I said, we have our exclusion framework. We can speak to the detail of how that operates. We also made the point previously that the matter of UN list and exclusions of companies on it has been under the process of a Private Members' Bill for consideration by the Oireachtas and by committees since May last year. Out of respect for that process, we have not pursued a decision around an exclusion on this because we are not looking to get ahead of or prejudge a matter that is being considered by the Oireachtas, first and foremost. While that is under way we have been working hard with the Department to contribute and feed in as much as we can so that process and provide as much support and information as we can. That is where we have been focused in terms of our activities.
