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

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

There are standing orders in relation to post-enactment reporting which will, of course, be complied with. Standing Order 204 of the Dáil states:
Twelve months following the enactment of a Bill, save in the case of the Finance Bill and the Appropriation Bill, the member of the Government or Minister of State who is officially responsible for implementation of the Act shall provide a report which shall review the functioning of the Act and which shall be laid in the Parliamentary Library.
The amendment would add new and expansive reporting requirements but also requirements that are there for Revenue and the authorities. The authorities will be providing any relevant statistics that can be shared with Senators in relation to the implementation of the Bill.
This might be on the second amendment relating to advertising, but there is already relevant information from this Bill on our website at the moment and Revenue will also have to put that information on its website. Therefore, the information will be there and will be accessible. Beyond the normal reporting of a Bill what we are focused on is implementing it and making sure its focus is on implementing it and making sure the resources are there. There will be information that is required. If it is sought through the authorities it can be provided to the Senators or anyone who seeks it. For that reason, I will not accept the amendment.
