Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2026: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-07-15
============================================================

Chris Andrews (SF), Labour Panel

I move amendment No. 14:
In page 7, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:
“Annual report
11. The Minister shall, within the first six months of the year, lay before both Houses of the Oireachtas a report outlining the application of this Act, providing an update on—
(a) how many successful actions were brought under section 14 of the Customs Act 2015 relating to the offences listed in this Act,
(b) how many attempted actions were undertaken,
(c) the monetary value of such attempted forms of trade,
(d) the persons engaged in such trade and/or the bodies corporate who have engaged in such trade, and
(e) any other the matter the Minister considers relevant or necessary.”.
Amendment No.14 would compel the Minister to lay a report before the Oireachtas detailing the implementation of the Act and the listed figures and information. It is vitally important that this legislation is successful in preventing illegal occupation and illegal settlements of Palestine from profiting in Ireland and that these settlements are not sustained and facilitated by illegal commercial practices. The Government should be transparent in its level of success.
