On Thursday, the Irish capital, Dublin, witnessed a demonstration in front of the Parliament building to demand the entry into force of the "Occupied Territories Act", which aims to ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements.

During the demonstration, the protesters demanded that the draft law called the “Occupied Territories Law” be put into effect, and that Shannon Airport be stopped from being used for military purposes in Israel’s interest.

Protesters also called on the government to provide support to health care workers and the health system in Gaza.

Participants held up banners reading "Help Gaza Now" and "Stop the Fire Now."

The demonstration was attended by the representative of the Irish Health Workers Association, Katrina Barrett.

Barrett said in her statements that they have been gathering in front of the Parliament building for 3 consecutive days.

He pointed out that the health care infrastructure in Gaza was completely destroyed, and that nearly a thousand health care workers were killed as a result of the Israeli attacks.

They explained that they are calling on the Irish government to take measures to protect the infrastructure and health care workers in Gaza.

“We urge our government to pass the Occupied Territories Law, which would ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements,” she added.

"We also want our government to prevent (Israeli) military personnel and equipment from passing through our airspace and using Shannon Airport," she continued.

It is noteworthy that in 2018, the Irish Senate approved a bill banning products from Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian lands.
