I welcome the Minister's response in proactively seeking compensation through the European Union. Israeli civil administration data reveal that only 1.5% of requests for building permits submitted by Palestinians in Area C between 2010 and 2014 were approved, and none were approved in 2015. Perhaps the European Union and by extension Ireland through the good offices of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade can continue to press that issue with the Israeli authorities.
