Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Trade Relations (16 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I return to the issue of vulnerabilities. It may be the case that the issue of new tariffs has come onto the table since the election of President Trump for the second time. It has returned to the agenda. Sinn Féin and others in the Opposition have made the case for many years that, even aside from tariffs, Ireland is vulnerable to a change in the economic climate because of the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Trade Relations (16 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Yet again this week, we have seen statements by US President Donald Trump in relation to bruising and punishing tariffs on European economies and, by extension, Ireland. The debate around tariffs has gone back and forth. Deadlines have been postponed, not met. However, we would be foolish to dismiss the risks to Ireland. For workers in the sectors most at risk, it is not an exaggeration...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I thank Mr. O'Brien for his attendance. It is appreciated. I wish IBEC the best with its pre-budget launch, which I think is tomorrow. I am afraid I will not be able to attend as I have another commitment. I have a series of questions, most of which are brief, so I ask Mr. O'Brien to be as concise as he can in answering. Does IBEC accept that trade with the occupied territories is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I understood that the EU-Israel trade agreement distinguishes in terms of services. That is not IBEC's position.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Yes, except that in the midst of some the discussion today, there is a distinction to be made. This legislation foresees, if someone is engaged in such trade, that they would potentially face sanction. It is not necessarily the same as tax law or such matters. However, to some extent there is a conflation between whether something can be legislated for and how difficult it will be to prove...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Mr. O'Brien said earlier that he thinks there is misinformation. Does he believe the nature of this Bill has been mischaracterised abroad?

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Some of the commentary has been that the Bill is antisemitic. Does Mr. O'Brien believe it is?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I agree. I thank Mr. O'Brien. Does he also agree that the Irish Government over many decades has had significant differences with the US Government on many areas of foreign policy, whether it was Iraq, Western Sahara, the Middle East or a whole range of other areas. Can Mr. O'Brien recall any instance where that had any impact on the willingness of US companies to invest in Ireland?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I do not want to dismiss that entirely, because it is some of the soft elements in trade but, on a related matter as regards legal instruments and hard policy, trade between the US and Ireland is not simply between the US and Ireland. It is between the US and the EU. Is that not fair to say? It is not possible, or there is no mechanism, for the US Government to levy tariffs against Ireland...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)
