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:
Our view is in the statement. We recognise the context in which this Bill is being advanced and the all-party support it has. We are happy to work with the committee on what we see as the business and economic implications of that, which we think will not be costless. We have so much sympathy for human suffering in conflicts everywhere in the world but our view, as the representative of business, is to talk to the business and economic implications of the Bill.
