Ireland has been preparing to sanction trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories for a year, provoking criticism from Israel, international company lobby groups and threats of reprisal from U.S. lawmakers.

Business representatives in Ireland have this year urged the government to delay any law and reduce its scope, the sources said, to avoid antagonising U.S. companies and investors, discouraging them from investing in Ireland.

Apparently not buying products produced from illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land is "too large a scope". Seems waaaay too specific and insignificant to me but apparently that's what's keeping all the big corporations up at night
