‘Israeli war bonds should not be sold through Ireland,’ Central Bank told

Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland Gabriel Makhlouf said legally, they must approve a prospectus that offers securities to the public.

Israeli-issued sovereign bonds which are being advertised as a way to raise funds for the country’s war efforts should not be sold through Ireland or its Central Bank, an Oireachtas committee has heard.

Speaking to the Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland Gabriel Makhlouf at the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach on Wednesday, Sinn Féin’s finance spokesperson Pearse Doherty said more should be done to prevent the sale of Israeli bonds through Ireland, calling on the Central Bank to add further conditionality to the sale of these financial products.
