Dail Éireann — 2025-07-15
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I get the arguments in relation to narrowness and whatever else but would it be fair to say the Minister accepts there is an issue, that anything should be done from a point of view of ensuring that the Central Bank and the State is not facilitating the sale of these Israeli war bonds and everything should be done at a European level and on a domestic level in relation to making sure that this does not continue, because it is a problem that the Irish people have?
On another issue, the Minister obviously found out that the shareholding by ISIF indirectly was happening. I assume the Minister made a decision ensuring that this would not continue. Will the Minister give us the date on which those war bonds were sold, that is, the war bonds in which the investment was made by this State?
