An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2024-09-25
============================================================

Vincent P. Martin (GP), Nominated by the Taoiseach

It has to be enacted and the Government is slow and stalling that. There is no reason to stall the legislation. This is a murderous regime, directed by a bloodthirsty leader, who clearly places no value on life. Israel is a rogue state purporting to be a democratic one. It has long since abandoned the rule of law. It is a blatant hypocrisy to treat Israel any differently from North Korea or Russia. I request a debate on the occupied territories Bill. I want to know the reasons we are not progressing that faster. There is no legal reason we should have any truck, support or economic involvement with illegal settlements.
