Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Scrutiny of EU Proposals

Mr. Dermot Ryan:

I can tell the Deputy the purpose for which this regulation was enacted last July. It long predates the current conflict in Gaza that commenced on 7 October. This specific measure has no specific reference to the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Israel.
