Ms Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh:

Arguably, the judgment of the International Court of Justice goes more broadly than that because it is about not rendering aid or assistance to Israel or any other party in maintaining the unlawful situation created by Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory. There may be parties outside of the occupied Palestinian territory who are contributing to the maintenance of the unlawful situation created by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory. Certainly, then, the obligations set out in the advisory opinion do go more broadly. This Bill is not the answer and does not fulfil all the obligations contained in the advisory opinion. As I stated in my introductory statement, to ensure full compliance with the advisory opinion, what Ireland and other states would need to do is a clear, detailed audit of all of its dealings with Israel, whether they be trade, cultural, political, military, etc., to ascertain and be sure what dealings they are and whether they are capable of contributing to the unlawful situation created by Israel, whether that be its unlawful presence in the occupied territory, its genocide, its apartheid or its deprivation of the right of self-determination of the Palestinian people.
