EU-Israel Association Agreement: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2026-05-28
============================================================

Frances Black (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

On a point of order, I want to let the Senator know that the occupied territories Bill is not a boycott Bill.
The pre-legislative scrutiny we carried out in the foreign affairs committee saw a unanimous vote that we can add both goods and services. The spin and scaremongering about people losing jobs has not been honest. That is not the truth. In Spain, it did not happen. There were no jobs lost in Spain. I want to put that on the record. This Bill is not a boycott.
