Ireland’s government is signaling that it will rely on advice from a disgraced judge to keep blocking a proposed ban on imports from Israel’s illegal settlements.
The Occupied Territories Bill – as the proposed ban is known – was placed once again on the legislative schedule for the Dáil, the lower house in the national parliament, earlier this month.
Great news about my Occupied Territories Bill! After an election, Bills from last term lapse & fall. But Dáil has just voted that OTB should be restored to agenda -so important given Govt promise for action & worsening reality in #Palestine. Now we can work to move it forward������ pic.twitter.com/mEdcsH7GP5— Frances Black (@frances_black) December 9, 2020
