Irish people 'complicit in genocide' if Occupied Territories Bill not enacted, Taoiseach told

Just one email, out of a sample of 50 pieces of correspondence released, asked Micheál Martin not to pass the legislation, urging him to consider 'making a political statement at the expense of real Irish workers'. Picture: Leah Farrell/ RollingNews.ie

Members of the public told the Taoiseach Irish people would be “complicit in genocide” if the Government did not enact the Occupied Territories Bill and stop the sale of Israeli bonds.

New documents released to the Irish Examiner under Freedom of Information (FOI) laws show Micheál Martin was implored to fully ban imports from illegally occupied Palestinian territories.
