I welcome Mr. O'Brien. I will begin with a couple of short questions. He seemed to suggest that under Irish, EU and international law, the Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian territory are illegal and are built on occupied land and, as such, are not part of Israel. He implied that when he mentioned the association agreement, but perhaps he could confirm that is the case.
