It is not good enough that we continue to invest taxpayers' money in companies that derive their profits from a systemic apartheid regime, which involves the occupation of the West Bank in particular. We have known about this for years and that the occupation is illegal. We know of the real-life impact it has had. We also know that because Israel has faced no consequences whatsoever, it has continued to act with impunity, including through engaging in genocide in Gaza over the past couple of years. The very least we can do is ensure we are not investing public moneys in companies benefiting from all of this. While I welcome that there is divestment from six companies, that just shows that progress is far too slow. The Tánaiste indicated that he is going to meet officials from the NTMA. Is he going to instruct the NTMA to accelerate the process?
