Paul Donnelly (Dublin West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I would like to thank the hundreds and thousands of Irish people who have marched through the streets of the Thirty-two Counties of Ireland in support of the Palestinian people. The occupied territories legislation would ban all trade, including services, with Israeli illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories and in east Jerusalem. It would send a clear message to the apartheid and genocidal regime that there are real consequences for its murderous slaughter of tens of thousands of men, women and children and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their lands and their homes, and the stealing of their homes and land on a daily basis. We are not just talking about the stealing of land in 1947; we are talking about land being stolen as we stand here today. Land is being robed every single day by the Zionists and supported by the Israeli Government and Israeli army. Just as with its housing targets, the Government has also lied to the people about its intention to progress this Bill. Let us call this Government's election promise what it is: a lie.
