The provision of services will be added to legislation banning imports from Israeli settlements if it stands up to legislative scrutiny, Simon Harris has said.

The Tánaiste said he has zero policy difference with the Opposition in relation to the inclusion of services in the Israeli Settlements Prohibition of Importation of Goods Bill 2025.
