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
Mr. Fergal O'Brien:
There will be lots of legal minds that will probably spend considerable time dissecting all of the details of this. It is important in the pre-legislative scrutiny stage that we are identifying these risks. Our members have identified this as a risk and a concern. Their lawyers will need time to view the full detail of the legislation before they can be definitive about the scale, challenge, cost or risk that would be involved.
