Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade
General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Fiona O'Loughlin (Fianna Fail)
I just feel that in conversations with people, members of the public and colleagues who are not members of this committee, that this is the case in terms of services. I agree with what Ms Ní Ghrálaigh said about it mainly being the tourism and tech industries. Many people, however, feel those services are actually in Israel, as opposed to on the land of the occupied territories and that it is difficult to try to distinguish between the two. I am very clear that the Bill refers to the occupied territories, but I am just interested in Ms Ní Ghrálaigh's views on this point.
