Mostly medical supplies I believe and tech parts. Some fruit and veg but that's probably negligible in comparison.

Looks like it’s probably chips to Intel & others.

Sudocrem and meds. Beclazone (brown asthma inhaler), amoxicillin, and fluoxetine for example is made by TEVA

Can't understand why Ireland hasn't made an attempt to source enough chips from say Taiwan or south Korea 😢

drkevguitar.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because Ireland the country is not making stuff. Companies (mostly American) based in Ireland are making the stuff.

I expect Irish workers are actually making the products but yes..... I don't expect USA multi nationals to cut ties with Israel 😢😢

With Ireland’s support for the Palestinian people I’m shocked they buy this much from Israel. Very disappointing.

It’s not stuff Ireland buys, it’s revenue from subsidiaries of companies like Microsoft moving around the world.

Is this why the government keeps banging on about the OTS legislation not covering services?

Partly. It’s hard to boycott something which purely happens on spreadsheets :)

Stuff for the pharmaceutical industry, medical supplies, parts for medical equipment. Plus actual medical equipment and pharmaceuticals for domestic use.

A LOT of generic versions of medications prescribed here are Israeli made.

Tech-related, I'd say. And 'consultants'.

Agree, intel irl and Intel occupied territories are busy investing billions of dollars in tech and infrastructure

Components for chips.

Even if this is impenetrable as the other answers suggest, it’s a timely reminder to ordinary consumers to be vigilant. Not a single date or avocado - and look out for ‘product of OT’ too. Remember the Dunnes stores women refusing to handle apartheid South African fruit. That’s our heritage 🇵🇸

Israels biggest sector of exports to Ireland is electronic integrated circuits and microassemblies which are used in various applications, including computing, telecommunications, automotive systems, and consumer electronics. €3.91B. https://tradingeconomics.com/ireland/imports/israel/electrical-electronic-equipment

I love how someone bought a tape deck for 34€ (I presume used, on eBay or similar) in 2021 and it made it to the list. 🙂

Hadn't spotted that or the turntable
