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. 15:
In page 7, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:
“Advertisement of prohibition
11. (1) The Minister for Finance shall ensure that the prohibition on trade in goods, or in services, and in the extraction of resources, with the postal codes to which this Act applies and to relevant occupied territories, is advertised on the website of the Department of Finance, and of the Revenue Commission, and wherever else he or she deems necessary.
(2) The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade shall ensure that the prohibition on trade in goods, or in services, and in the extraction of resources, with the postal codes to which this Act applies and to relevant occupied territories, is advertised on the website of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.”
Similarly to amendment No. 14, amendment No. 15 seeks to require a degree of transparency regarding the implementation of this legislation. The amendment would compel the Ministers for Finance and Foreign Affairs and Trade to publish information on their Department websites about any ban adopted regardless of its content.
