Despite the country's reputation as an ally in the Palestinian struggle, Irish ministers from the centre-right coalition government only stopped granting export licences for dual-use technology in 2025.
The data was uncovered via Freedom of Information requests from the Currency and the Wall Street Journal.
Dual-use products like computers and software have both civilian and military capabilities. Each needs its own licence and must be individually signed off by a minister. At least 11 dual-use licences worth €35m were exported to Israel between 2020 and 2024, €20m of that in 2024 alone.
Why are the companies who actually exported this dual use kit to Israel not named?
President's sister among those illegally abducted in International waters today.

No idea. I was able to establish it was bog standard database software developed in Ireland by an MNC.
Rayban needed duel use licencing when they were made in Ireland. I wouldn't read too much into that aspect of it.
