Protesters have urged the Central Bank of Ireland not to proceed with the approval for the sale of Israel bonds ahead of an upcoming renewal date.

Around 100 demonstrators gathered outside the Central Bank in Dublin on Tuesday to demand an end to the authority’s role in approving Israel bonds for sale in the EU, for the Government to include services in the Occupied Territories Bill and to pass that legislation.
