President Michael D Higgins has been urged not to dissolve the Dáil today as campaigners push for the passage of the Occupied Territories Bill, aimed at banning trade with Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The Mothers Against Genocide group sent a letter to President Higgins, highlighting the government’s previous obstruction of the bill. While Tánaiste Micheál Martin expressed the government’s commitment to advancing the legislation, concerns remain over the potential legal implications. The urgency for action follows an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice urging Ireland to act decisively.
