It's after a new bill has been introduced in the Dáil, which would ban the State’s sovereign development fund from investing in companies based in illegal Israeli settlements.

Backing the bill, both TDs said the bill is a small step but it sends a clear and important message to the world that Ireland doesn't tolerate the situation.
