Ms Helen Mahony:

To clarify this, the amendment that the Government made to the emergency motion, which basically destroyed the emergency motion, states that the Central Bank "has clearly stated that an Advisory Opinion of the ICJ, or indeed the processes of the ICC does not constitute grounds for the CBI to refuse the prospectus". The ICJ advisory ruling has been well and truly accepted as the basis for moving on the occupied territories Bill. It sets out conditions that apply to this country, so it covers the organ of the State, which is the Central Bank.

The Central Bank is so wrong in so much of what it is saying at the moment.
