Social Democrats have ‘no timeline’ on Eoin Hayes decision

There is “no timeline” for a decision on the future of a TD who has been been suspended from the Social Democrats parliamentary party.

Eoin Hayes was indefinitely suspended in December after making incorrect statements about his shares in a company linked to the Israeli military.

He had originally told the media and his party colleagues that he divested shares in his former employer, Palantir Technologies, before being elected to Dublin City Council in June.

But he later revealed that he sold the shares in July – after taking office – for a pre-tax figure of 199,000 euro. The company supplies technology to Israel’s military.

The Social Democrats had been calling for economic sanctions against Israel months before Mr Hayes’ election to the council. He became a TD in November.

The national executive reviewed his suspension and now sits with the parliamentary party for any further consideration.
