Govt Occupied Territories Bill at Cabinet today, and in Dáil Foreign Affairs Committee next week. A very welcome, important and long overdue step - but we have to get the detail right. That means a full ban on all trade with the illegal Israeli settlements, both goods & services. We cannot let tech and service-based companies enabling the illegal settlement project off the hook.

Govt and the Tánaiste have committed to me, and stated clearly this week, that they are willing to including services as the Bill moves through the Dáil, if we can get the legal aspect right. I am 100% sure that we can. We have published detailed legal analysis and will share more shortly. Over 400 eminent lawyers have written to Govt stating that this is doable with the right political will. Now we need Govt & opposition to work together in the FA Ctte to get this done.

Last week, Ireland and 8 other EU countries publicly demanded that the EU finally take action on illegal settlement trade. The calls for change are getting louder. I really, deeply believe that we can lead on this - that by passing this legislation we can spur action that goes far beyond this island. It can set a standard here for others to follow. The key thing now is getting that right: a full ban on all trade, both goods & services, and doing it urgently. That starts next week in the FA Ctte and we'll keep going until it's done. #PassTheOTB

This is good 💯

Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis
