The Irish Central Bank has not been used to renew a prospectus for Israeli bonds, it has been confirmed.

The use of Ireland as the issuing country for the prospectuses of Israeli bonds, which are largely being used to fund the country's war efforts in Gaza, has attracted protests in recent weeks, with renewal due today.
