Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2026-06-30
============================================================

Conor Murphy (SF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I thank the Minister of State for her assurances that these matters are already covered. The experience in Europe, and these laws reflect European laws, is that there has been an unwillingness to do anything about the genocide and those involved in perpetrating it. Many of them come from European countries, join the IDF and go back home again. People with lead responsibility in the Israeli Government have travelled to European countries and there has been no follow-through on the legislation. If it is simply a matter of political will that the legislation will be followed through, Ireland needs to look carefully at whether this reflects that type of European legislation. There has been a distinct lack of action against any of the people involved in the genocide on the ground, and especially those who planned, led and advocated for it, in relation to their treatment in various European countries.
