- Ending the Central Bank’s Facilitation of the Sale of Israel Bonds: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2025)
Pearse Doherty: I support the motion and commend the Social Democrats on bringing it forward. This motion is in line with the debate we had last week on Sinn Féin legislation that would stop the Central Bank facilitating the sale of Israeli war bonds in Ireland.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Israeli Bond Programme: Central Bank of Ireland (11 Jun 2025)
Pearse Doherty: I thank the Governor and his colleagues for coming to the committee. To get his own view and that of the Central Bank, does Mr. Makhlouf believe that what we are seeing in Gaza is a genocide?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Israeli Bond Programme: Central Bank of Ireland (11 Jun 2025)
Pearse Doherty: That is fine. Let us get to the risk. There are loads of bonds; we do not have an issue with them being approved through the Central Bank. I want Mr. Cross to please answer the question.

Pearse Doherty: Is the fact that there is a statable case with regard to a breach of the Genocide Convention included in the prospectus?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Israeli Bond Programme: Central Bank of Ireland (11 Jun 2025)
Pearse Doherty: The prospectus is quite long. I do not want Mr. Cross to go through it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Israeli Bond Programme: Central Bank of Ireland (11 Jun 2025)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Israeli Bond Programme: Central Bank of Ireland (11 Jun 2025)
Pearse Doherty: Okay. On that basis, is it the case that Mr. Cross believes the risks are dealt with?
