“FIANNA FÁIL’S NIALL Collins has confirmed that his party will support Senator Frances Black’s Occupied Territories Bill when it is debated in the Seanad later this month.

The Bill aims to prohibit Ireland from trading in goods and services from Israeli-occupied territories by prohibiting “the import and sales of goods, services and natural resources originating in illegal settlements in occupied territories”.

Last week at a concert in Dublin, former Pink Floyd star Roger Waters urged people to support the Occupied Territories Bill 2018.

Opposition parties including Labour and Sinn Féin as well as independent senators have all voiced their support for such a move to prohibit trade – however with Fianna Fáil support on board, the Bill is certain to pass.
