The Dáil has voted against legislation seeking to impose sanctions against Israel by 77 votes to 62.
The vote on the Sanctions Against The State of Israel bill, which was tabled by People Before Profit-Solidarity, took place this evening amid protests in support of the bill outside the Dáil.
The bill had proposed to prohibit all trade, investment, financial dealings and state-linked economic activity with Israel.
It was first put forward last November.
During an initial debate late last year, People Before Profit-Solidarity TD Richard Boyd Barrett said that "the time for treating Israel as a normal state has to end. They must be isolated from the international community as we did with apartheid South Africa."
