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

Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion

Mr. Nick Ashmore:

At the end of the day, our primary concern is delivery of our statutory mandate within the legislative framework laid out by the Oireachtas. We work very hard to ensure that we do that to the best of our ability. That includes the cluster munitions, fossil fuel, administrative inclusions and the selection of the very best investments that we can find. The overriding challenge is to do that where we are sensitive to the requirements of the legislation and the principles of environmental, social, and governance, ESG, that we have signed up to under the UN's principles of responsible investment and that we do it on a practical basis.
