The Government says the Occupied Territories Bill will be progressed through the Dáil and Seanad before the summer recess.

 

 

Minister of State Niall Collins says Cabinet has approved plans for Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee to advance the legislation.

 

 

The Bill would ban imports from illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, while Ireland also pushes for wider EU action against Israel.

 

 

Speaking to Ocean FM News, Minister of State Niall Collins says the Bill will send a strong global message, but wider EU sanctions would land the biggest punch.
