Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein)

I find this absolutely outrageous. What did the Minister do in this period? Did he know that the Irish State, using Irish taxpayers' money, was funding a genocide? Israel does not hide behind this. It does not blush about this. It sells and advertises these bonds as supporting the war effort. We all know that it is not a war. We know it is genocide. Before this, regarding the Central Bank's role, one could say that the State was not directly funding it but was just assisting the ability to sell the bonds. This is the State putting cash on the table and investing in war bonds. It appears that the investment increased in 2024, when it was at full tilt. I ask the Minister again when the disinvestment happened. When did ISIF sell its bonds?
