Matt Carthy: Why do you keep looking for acknowledgement for things? We are looking for action.

Micheál Martin: Sometimes the Deputy does not like what I have to say and he interrupts. The bottom line is that is action. That is my point. As soon as the opinion was issued, Ireland went back in and cosponsored a resolution to give effect to it and call on states to implement it. That is action.

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: Two and a half years on from Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine continues to face immense challenges. With the Taoiseach, I recently announced a €36 million package of support for Ukraine and its immediate neighbours, which builds on the extensive political, humanitarian, military and economic support provided since February 2022. It will provide much-needed humanitarian...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: The figure I had was $411 billion. The fact the Tánaiste said $486 billion suggests that things are going in the wrong direction as regards Ukraine's ability to finance its recovery. The gap for borrowing will be something that we will all have to deal with globally and internationally over the coming decade, as the Tánaiste said. SPUR is a crisis facility, which will focus on...

Micheál Martin: I thank the Deputy for what he said. The figure we have is $486 billion over the next decade. That figure rises every day. I mentioned the nature of modern warfare. It is entirely destructive. Rulers are now targeting civilian and energy infrastructure, houses, schools, hospitals and so forth. Ireland has engaged in discussions on short-term recovery efforts in preparation for a...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I will follow up with two quick supplementaries on the area of gender-based violence and the supports that will be given to victims of rape and sexual abuse during the conflict. Will the Tánaiste comment on that? As I mentioned to the Minister of State, Deputy Fleming, what has been done in the conflict is particularly heinous in respect of children. I did not realise it was to the...

Brendan Howlin: I have a brief supplementary. I thank the Tánaiste for his responses. Many of us have a concern, before we even start reconstructing Ukraine and Moldova, regarding the survival of the democratic structures of Moldova, which is currently being undermined by Russia. I would be interested to hear the Tánaiste's view on what we are doing to support democratic structures in Moldova...

Micheál Martin: The European Union is not sending weapons.

Brendan Howlin: They are sovereign countries.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: They are sovereign, independent countries. The European Union is not sending weapons to Israel. For the sake of the public, we need clarity in the debate. The Middle East is complex enough. I think everyone in this House is consistent and unified in wanting this war to end.
