Not clear? Law Professor @rodericogorman: "As someone who received the same legal advice as the Tánaiste from the Attorney General, I can say there was absolutely no reference for a need to distinguish between goods and services. 23 pages of great detail, not one reference."
EU Affairs minister Thomas Byrne tells the Dail it is not yet clear whether it is legally permissible for Ireland to include a ban on services in the government's forthcoming rewrite of the Occupied Territories Bill He is responding on Govt's behalf in a Dail debate this a.m.

October 19, 2025. On the first day of the olive harvest in Turmus'ayyer, the Israeli Defense Force leads a group of farmers directly into a brutal ambush by armed settlers. These people need to be in prison by tomorrow, and the people of this village, and all across Palestine,
Brutal settler attack in Turmus’ayya olive fields. Many injuries, including a woman knocked unconscious with a club and beaten repeatedly (2nd photo). The IDF lured us into an ambush, I have it all on video. Will upload as soon as I have good service.
