Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs and Trade, Niall Collins TD has confirmed that his party will support Senator Frances Black’s Occupied Territories Bill when it's debated in Seanad Éireann later this month.

Thank you the people of Ireland for your legendary humanity, please help @frances_black pass this bill and end the use of #SettlementGoods pic.twitter.com/rW9iUtqTXF

— Roger Waters (@rogerwaters) July 1, 2018

The bill does not aim to ban Israeli products, only those goods that are produced in settlements established illegally, beyond the borders of Israel.
