Fianna Fáil has not approached Michael Flatley to run as its presidential candidate, says Martin
FIANNA FÁIL HAS not approached Riverdance star Michael Flatley to be the party's presidential candidate, Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirmed today. Speaking in Kerry this afternoon, the Fianna Fáil leader was asked if Flatley is one of the people that the party is considering as a candidate for presidency. Martin responded: 'No.' Lots of names have been talked about when it comes to Fianna Fáil's presidential hopefuls, but Martin clarified that Flatley has not been approached by the party. Advertisement 'Fianna Fáil will make its decisions closer to the end of the month,' said Martin when asked around the timeline the party might make its intentions known. The party will continue to 'take soundings' in August, before reaching a decision, he said. 'I believe the presidency doesn't necessarily belong to any one party. I believe it belongs to the people of Ireland, and it's important that the person is elected who can bring honour and distinction to that office, both at home here in Ireland and overseas. 'And Fianna Fáil certainly will be making a contribution to that debate,' said Martin. It was reported last month that Flatley would be seeking the nomination, he remained coy when asked about his intentions. 'If I thought that I could be of benefit to the Irish people and maybe more importantly, if I thought I could be a voice of the Irish people. Right now, I don't think they have a voice, not a true proper deep voice that you know that speaks their language,' he said. Related Reads Catherine Connolly is using American-style grassroots fundraising for her presidential campaign Labour is backing Catherine Connolly for president, but not everyone is happy about it Michael Flatley coy about possible presidential run With many of the political parties already making their intentions known, with McGuinness being selected as Fine Gael's nominee and Labour, the Social Democrats, People Before Profit and a number of Independents throwing their support behind Galway TD Catherine Connolly, the path to the presidency is narrowing for others that might have their eye on the job. To be eligible for election as president, a person must be an Irish citizen who is 35 or older and they must be successful in getting at least 20 members of the Oireachtas or at least 4 local authorities to sign their nomination papers. Asked about the local council route, Martin said many in the past have got nominations from the requisite number of county councils. 'The Constitution creates a pathway there for people to secure nomination through that route,' he added. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Slovenia moves to ban imports from illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine
THE SLOVENIAN GOVERNMENT has moved towards banning the importation of goods from illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine. In a correspondence session, a remote discussion between ministries, the government instructed the ministries for the economy and the foreign affairs to prepare for the measure's formal proposal. 'A measure is proposed in the form of a ban on the import of goods originating from illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, including a ban on the circumvention of the ban on such imports,' a government statement read. The two ministries have also been tasked with examining a possible ban on the export of goods from Slovenia that are intended for Israeli settlements. 'The Government of the Republic of Slovenia will decide on further measures,' the statement added. In its statement today, the Slovenian government cited the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice from July of last year, which said that states are obliged not to conduct trade with Israeli settlements (colonies) because the occupation itself is illegal. There are more than 700,000 Israeli settlers living in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. They live in settlements endorsed by the Israeli government and the most common exports are agricultural products. Advertisement A similar ban is currently progressing through the Oireachtas in Ireland that would ban the importation of goods from Israeli settlements, but in the pre-legislative stage, a committee recommended services also be included. Today's announcement follows Slovenia's imposition of a ban on arms sales to Israel. Slovenia is one of the European Union member states that has pushed ahead with unilateral actions against Israel in response to its ongoing war on the Gaza Strip in Palestine. As a bloc, the EU has failed to take concrete action to sanction Israel despite it being found to have violated the human rights clause in its trade agreement with the bloc. In explaining Friday's decision, Slovenia said it was in response to the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza while denouncing the EU's inaction.

Slovenia bans imports from Israeli settlements over Gaza war
Slovenia has introduced a ban on imports of goods produced in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories and approved an additional aid package for Palestinians in Gaza, the government said in a statement. "The government today banned the import of goods originating from settlements in the occupied territories, including a ban on circumventing the ban on these imports," the statement on the government website said. The statement did not specify whether the ban refers to all goods produced in the territories or just Israeli goods. The Slovenian government also instructed the competent ministries to consider banning the export of goods from Slovenia intended for these Israeli-occupied settlements. "Israeli government's actions, including the construction of illegal settlements, expropriations, the forced displacement of the Palestinian population, the destruction of their serious and repeated violations of international humanitarian law," Prime Minister Robert Golob said in statement quoted by the STA news agency. "These actions not only threaten the lives and dignity of the Palestinian population, but also the foundations of the international order," it added. The news agency said the volume of goods affected is extremely low at under €2,000 in 2023. A demonstration was held in the capital Ljubjana to draw attention to the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza. Most of the international community considers the settlements illegal. The Israeli government deems settlements legal under its own laws, while some so-called "outposts" are illegal but often tolerated and sometimes later legalised. Last month, a cross-party Oireachtas foreign affairs committee report on the Occupied Territories Bill "strongly recommends" services as well as goods should be included in any Government legislation. The committee has been tasked in recent weeks with drawing up a pre-legislative scrutiny report on the long-awaited Occupied Territories Bill, which will include a series of non-binding recommendations that will subsequently be considered by Government. The question of whether the bill should be limited to goods from what it describes as the Occupied Territories or be extended to services as well has been a key subject of debate in recent weeks due to the potential economic impact such a move could cause.
