I can tell you because I've seen the documents from the Department of Enterprise.
They can prevent such export licenses being given if there is a possibility that what's being exported may be used to violate human rights or international law.
Of course there was.
At that point, the case had already been taken against Israel for genocide.
And we were in the midst of a slaughter, Barry.
We were in the midst of a slaughter.
Are we going to stop those kind of exports?
The end user is the Israeli military.
And even the fact that the level of exports that was improved jumped to 20 million that year.
Previously, it was, sorry, I should say in 2023, it was 12 million.
These are the years of the genocidal assault.
And then before that, it was only a million exports.
and sometimes below 100,000, right?
Now, surely that would have been a flag, a red flag for the department to say, hold on a sec.
The Israeli military machine is involved in a genocidal slaughter in Gaza, and there's a sudden surge in the exports to that very Israeli military during that period.
I mean, that's pretty strong circumstantial evidence that the end user is using what's being exported as part of that
genocidal assault in Gaza.
So, I mean, and the idea that you're approving exports to the Israeli military machine and that somehow you can sort of parse apart bits that aren't being used to kill people when that same outfit, that same entity, the Israeli military, are actually slaughtering people in what we now believe, and the Irish state believes, to be a genocide.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
And the question is, are we going to do anything?
