Control of Exports Bill 2023
Public bill · Government · Presented
New export controls would cover items that can be used for both civilian and military purposes, as well as military equipment itself. It would require permission in certain cases to export, broker, assist with, or move these items through Ireland, and it would give the Minister powers to block exports, grant licences, inspect records, enforce compliance, and decide appeals through a special confidential process. It also updates the law to match EU rules and replaces the 2008 export controls system.
