Louth TD Calls for Ireland to Ban Israeli Ministers from Entering the Country Ahead of EU Presidency - 27/05/2026

Fianna Fáil TD for Louth Erin McGreehan is calling on the Government to follow the lead of several European countries and ban Israeli ministers from entering Ireland. Deputy McGreehan says Ireland should take a clear stance ahead of assuming the EU Presidency, pointing to recent moves by France and Slovenia to bar Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from entering their countries. She also says the treatment of Irish and European citizens detained by Israeli forces, along with ongoing concerns surrounding settlements in the occupied West Bank, means Ireland must now consider taking similar action. Deputy McGreehan joined us on The Agenda this mornign to talk to us some more about this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
