Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I thank the Minister. I will look at those figures and I appreciate his answer. I respect the NTMA and the subgroup. I was on the public accounts committee and remember the NTMA's proactive approach to divestment from fossil fuels and to former Deputy Thomas Pringle's Bill. I welcome that, and the NTMA grasped the nettle when the time came.
The Minister listed several Israeli banks and a retail chain. It is welcome that we have divested from them, but we are still investing. In the overall scheme, it is a small sum of money, but we are still investing in companies and banks in territories that are illegally occupied. I want to know the timeline of when we will divest directly and indirectly from those companies, given our stance on Palestine.
