- Acclaimed Irish author Sally Rooney has announced that her publisher Faber will no longer supply her books in the UK following her public support for the protest group Palestine Action.
- The British government designated Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation in July 2025, although the group is not prohibited in the Republic of Ireland, where Rooney lives.
- Rooney previously said in August 2025 that she intended to use her public platform and earnings to support Palestine Action, creating legal complications under British anti-terrorism laws.
- Following consultations with Faber, it was mutually agreed that continuing to supply her work in the UK could constitute a serious criminal offence.
- The Normal People writer said that she has endeavoured to remain honest about her beliefs and intentions and is wholly prepared to accept the consequences of her actions.
