>A ban on exports from the occupied territories is seen as symbolic, as trade is limited to physical products such as dates, oranges, olives and some timber and was worth just €685,000 (£575,000) in the four years from 2020 to 2024.
It’s joever.

Wasn’t the estimated impact to the Irish economy of the original bill potentially in the billions per year? Does the revised bill fix that issue? I can’t see how they’d make that risk go away.

Worth about €170k a year or the price of 1 missile that Israel fires into Gaza. Really sends a message

Seems like people should be supporting whatever business is left in Palestine…but then what do I know..is there anything left to export.. probably better keeping it for themselves..

It’s infuriating, heartbreaking that the bill has been stripped back to only apply to goods and not services. After years of delaying the bill, after 19 months of slaughter, with 2 million people being bombed and starved to death I’m aghast that our government is not doing everything they can to stop Israel’s rampage. Not trading with businesses operating from illegal settlements in a genocidal state is the bare minimum a state could do.

Should be a ban on all trade with all of Israel; but seeing as it’s supposedly worth over 4 billion a year that’s not going to happen.

One of the blacks wrote it,by and large anything that ffg get their fingers on,they make a complete balls of,does anyone expect this to be different??
