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
2:00 am
Mr. Declan Smyth:
With respect, the Attorney General has been asked to advise on that matter so I am not going to pre-empt his advice on it. As to whether it is a political decision, the Tánaiste himself has indicated that he is open to examining or including services within the scope of the Bill, depending on the advice that he receives. That is a political decision that will be made on the basis of the advice received.
