This would be contrary to the Report from the Foreign Affairs Conmittee INCLUDING Govt TDs which strongly recommended for services to be included. "Taoiseach signals Occupied Territories Bill unlikely to include services"

The proposed Bill already includes a ban on trade in goods

This election is a clear contest. A candidate who represents the primacy of PROFIT vs a candidate who represents the primacy of PEOPLE. We choose PEOPLE. We choose Catherine Connolly. #Aras25

#budget2026 going down like a 💩 sandwich with public calling into @TodaywithClaire. No tolerance for the Ministerial platitudes. Same on #rtept last night. Thats what happens when you have €2.3bn of right-wing, pro-big business tax cuts. It was a budget written by lobbyists.

Government had a real chance today to take meaningful action on child poverty, homelessness and the soaring cost of childcare. Instead, we see tax breaks for developers and large fast food chains. Zero ambition from this conservative coalition. #Budget2026

Talks are continuing tonight between senior Department of Local Government officials and Attorney General Rossa Fanning over whether Jim Gavin can be officially removed from the presidential ballot or not https://t.co/5mpSyK8JEN
