Two independent TDs from the Regional Independent Group defied the government and voted in favor of a Sinn Féin bill regarding Israeli bonds. This vote resulted in the bill failing. Barry Heneghan and Gillian Toole, who typically support the coalition, voted with the opposition on Wednesday. The Sinn Féin motion aimed to compel the Irish Central Bank to cease facilitating "Israeli war bonds" within the EU. The vote was 87-75 against the motion. Heneghan stated his vote was due to concerns about Ireland's role in funding actions in Gaza, while also affirming his commitment to the government.
