Opposition parties have offered up Dáil speaking time in order to pass a bill that would ban goods and services produced in illegal Israeli settlements.

The Government has agreed to bring the bill forward as far as possible in the short time remaining before a general election, but has indicated that it will not be passed before the Dáil is dissolved.
