Irish politician Eoin Hayes faces scrutiny over past shares in Palantir, which aids Israeli military.

Irish politician Eoin Hayes, a newly elected Social Democrats TD, is facing scrutiny over shares he held in Palantir Technologies, a US company that supplies technology to the Israeli military. Hayes worked for Palantir from 2015 to 2017 and received shares as part of his compensation package. He claims he sold the shares after becoming "greatly concerned" about the company's relationship with the Israeli Defense Forces but has not disclosed when the sale occurred or the profit he made. Palantir's technology is used to identify targets in Gaza. Hayes maintains he has been transparent about his divestment and supports his party's stance on the Gaza conflict.
