Kildare South TD Supports Halting Israeli Defence Deals: "Values Over Value"

Taoiseach Simon Harris said he is seeking legal advice.

The Taoiseach is to write to the Attorney General seeking fresh legal advice about trade with Israel.

Simon Harris says the government has already decided it won't purchase any defence equipment from Israel, in light of the ongoing violence in Gaza.

There are drones purchased via Israel at the Curragh Camp, with a lot of them not in use.

In the past, Ireland has purchased helmets and ammunition from Israel.

Kildare South TD Cathal Barry said he agrees with Ireland not purchasing defence equipment from Israel.

He said "value is important but values are more important".

Simon Harris said he is seeking legal advice.
