St Patrick’s Day visit: Micheál Martin meets groups in Washington after rejecting as ‘absurd’ claims of anti-Semitism
Taoiseach Micheál Martin met with Jewish groups in Washington to clarify the status of the Occupied Territories Bill, after reports suggested he said it was dropped. His spokesman stated the Bill was deemed unconstitutional and would be revised. The meeting followed accusations of anti-Semitism against Martin and concerns from the Jewish groups about Irish policy toward Israel and rising anti-Semitism in Ireland.
