"The Occupied Territories Bill which would ban the importing of goods from illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, has been omitted from the PFG, this is despite the bill being passed in the Seanad and the Dail with the only party opposing it being Fine Gael." said Dean McGrath.
