Cian O'Callaghan (Dublin Bay North, Social Democrats)

It is not okay for the board to simply be aware of the issues. It is not okay for some divestments to take place while there are still investments in these companies that are operating in the occupied territories. This is with our money. Will the Minister direct ISIF to stop investing in companies that are breaking international law? That is what is happening. This is about a breach of international law plus, with a genocide taking place in Gaza, the message that sends to Israel with these companies that are still being invested in. In light of the genocide and the breach of international law, will the Minister direct ISIF to stop using our public money to invest in these companies? It is urgent.
