The best timeline is to never pass it!
If we want to do something for the West Bank and Gaza direct projects that will help the people and government there are much more effective.

The Journal @thejournal.ie · 1d

Since before Christmas, government ministers have refused to set out a timeline for when the Occupied Territories Bill will be passed.

Minister Helen McEntee could provide no details on when the bill will progress, stating she is waiting on more advice from the Attorney General. jrnl.ie/6952632

Still no timeline for Occupied Territories Bill as minister says she's awaiting AG advice

The government has been accused of shelving the legislation.
