Decision about equipment from Israel discussed by three leaders.

Cinneadh faoi threalamh ó Iosrael pléite ag triúr ceannairí.

Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman has revealed that Tánaiste Micheal Martin discussed the decision not to buy military equipment from Israel with himself and Taoiseach Simon Harris.

Tá sé tugtha le fios ag ceannaire an Chomhaontais Ghlais Roderic O'Gorman gur phléigh an Tánaiste Micheal Martin an cinneadh gan trealamh míleata a cheannach ó Iosrael leis féin agus leis an Taoiseach Simon Harris.

Roderic O'Gorman, however, did not say whether the matter had been referred to Cabinet before the decision was made.

Ní dúirt Roderic O'Gorman, áfach, ar cuireadh an cheist faoi bhráid na Comhaireachta sula ndearnadh an cinneadh.

The Gorman claimed, however, that Micheál Martin always pays attention to legal advice and is someone who thinks hard about issues.

Mhaígh an Gormánach, mar sin féin, go dtugann Micheál Martin aird i gcónaí ar chomhairle dlí agus gur duine é a mhachnaíonn go dian ar cheisteanna.

Micheál Martin announced yesterday that Ireland would not buy any military equipment from Israel or vice versa in view of the ruling of the International Court of Justice about the persecution of the Palestinians by the Israelis.

D'fhógair Micheál Martin inné nach gceannódh Éire aon trealamh míleata ó Iosrael ná a mhalairt feasta i bhfianaise rialú na Cúirte Breithiúnais Idirnáisiúnta faoin ngéarleanúint atá na hIosraelaigh a dhéanamh ar Phalaistíngh.

Last month, that court ruled that Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories is against international law.

An mhí seo caite, rialaigh an chúirt sin go bhfuil an greim atá ag Iosrael ar na críocha Palaistíneacha in aghaidh an dlí idirnáisiúnta.

Independent MP Cathal Berry - a highly qualified ex-soldier - said Ireland had bought very little military equipment from Israel in 20 years.

Dúirt an Teachta Dála Neamhspleách Cathal Berry – iarshaighdiúir ardcháilíochta – gur fíorbheagán trealaimh mhíleata a cheannaigh Éire ó Iosrael le 20 bliain.

According to him, helmets, respirators and ammunition were once the most purchased items, while drones and optical material have recently been purchased the most.

Dar leis gur clogaid, análaitheoirí agus armlón is mó a cheannaítí tráth, agus gur dróin agus ábhar optaice is mó a ceannaíodh le gairid.

Cathal Berry pointed out that Ireland currently has around a dozen Israeli-made drones.

Thug Cathal Berry le fios go bhfuil thart ar dhosaen drón de dhéantús Iosrael ag Éirinn faoi láthair.
