Does the Department have a list of the names of companies as well? Surely there has been some sort of an assessment of who is trading from within the occupied territories with Ireland. There is a political sensitivity about all of this. I assume the Department would have looked into this previously as opposed to just saying the goods will be labelled as produce coming from the occupied territories and that is fine. A Bill about the occupied territories has been before the Dáil and Seanad for several years. I am trying to understand what kind of work, assessments and research has been undertaken within the Department with regard to this matter.
