Tánaiste Simon Harris has confirmed he will bring a redrafted Occupied Territories Bill to Cabinet next week, amid growing political and public pressure over the war in Gaza.

Speaking in the Dáil, Mr Harris said the general scheme of the bill is “well progressed” within the Department of Foreign Affairs and will be presented to ministers shortly.
