Another day, another Israeli massacre in Gaza. Since dawn, another 45 innocents have been slaughtered by this terrorist regime. Almost certainly, the weapons that killed those people came from the United States and possibly travelled through Irish airspace. The US military, which supports all this, is also using our airports. Will the Government give us the debate we asked for about the transport of Israeli weapons to kill people in Gaza and Lebanon? Will it allow that debate and can we include in it an explanation as to whether the Government will do anything about the fact the Central Bank is facilitating the sale of war bonds by Israel, which are explicitly being marketed as financing their slaughtering and butchering of innocent people in Gaza and Lebanon?

That is a disgrace in itself and something the Government could act on. Can we include in that debate an explanation from the Government about Ireland's role in the selling of those war bonds?
