Attorney General to brief Government next week on legal standing of Occupied Territories Bill
The Bill, which was brought forward by independent senator Frances Black, seeks to prevent Ireland from trading in goods and services imported from occupied territories.
Taoiseach Simon Harris had previously ordered a review on trade with Israel, in light of a decision by the International Court of Justice.
The Bill was first passed in the Seanad in 2018, but is now stalled at Second Stage in the Dáil.
