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

Ms Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh:

Certainly. It is not the fact of the Bill that would open Ireland up to international legal action, but the fact of Ireland's non-compliance with international law. If Ireland were to continue to allow the trade in services with the occupied Palestinian territory, without distinguishing, as it is required to do, it is this that opens Ireland up to legal challenge.
