The letter which is the subject of the Deputy’s Question appears to be part of a letter writing campaign organised by Trócaire. Similar letters have been sent to most, if not all, members of the Oireachtas, calling for a ban on the importation to the EU of the products of Israeli settlements. A number of Deputies have already been in contact with me in relation to the letters received. I intend very shortly to write to all Deputies setting out my views on the subjects raised in this letter, which I have already broadly set out in various statements and replies to Questions in the House and which have also already been conveyed directly to Trócaire.
