- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: That is the conclusion I am drawing from it.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I know it is, to muddy the waters.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: I am not. You asked me to stop the equivalence. There is no equivalence from my perspective. International humanitarian law should be observed. I disagree fundamentally and have condemned the Israeli Government's attack on Gaza. We are doing everything we can through the international courts. The Deputy mentioned genocide. There is a convention on genocide. We are either serious about...

Richard Boyd Barrett: International law distinguishes between the oppressor and the oppressed.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: That includes Hamas and Hezbollah. Equally, it includes the State of Israel in terms of, for example, these massive bunker bombs which take out hundreds of people in the name of taking out one commander. I accept fully the points Deputy Ó Murchú made on our peacekeepers - their safety and security is our priority - and on continuing to pursue justice and get answers from the...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)
Michael McGrath: 5. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade how Ireland is supporting the Ukraine humanitarian fund, UNOCHA; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40563/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)
Pádraig O'Sullivan: I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy Michael McGrath. How is Ireland supporting the Ukraine humanitarian fund?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)
Seán Fleming: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. Ireland remains steadfast in our support for the people and Government of Ukraine. The conflict, since the illegal Russian invasion in February 2022, continues to drive the numbers of people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. As Ukraine faces into another harsh winter, Ireland's humanitarian funding will continue to target the most...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)
Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister of State. I acknowledge the announcement last month of that €36 million. It is very welcome. Perhaps the Minister of State will give the House an estimate on the overall contribution the State has made on that fund since its inception in 2022. One of the most reprehensible acts that has been done in the Ukraine-Russia conflict is the forced deportation of...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: Apologies have been received from Deputies Marc Ó Cathasaigh, Catherine Murphy and John Brady. I propose that we go into private session briefly. Is that agreed? Agreed.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: The witnesses are all very welcome. I remind everyone in attendance to ensure their mobile phones are switched off or in silent mode. To start, I wish to explain some limitations to parliamentary privilege and the practices of the Houses as regard references witnesses may make to other persons in their evidence. The evidence of witnesses physically present or who give evidence from...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: I welcome our witnesses. I thank Mr. Coleman for his opening remarks. I will start by addressing Shanganagh Castle Estate. It is close to my own heart because, before my time as a TD, I was a councillor on Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. I know how long that site lay vacant. While there were several plans for it, it was not until the LDA took over the site – the first...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: I see. The recharge relates just to that portion of homes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: That is fine. As to the negotiations between the LDA and State-owned properties, Mr. Coleman mentioned 59 sites that are currently in negotiation. Is that figure correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: I presume there are other sites about which the agency is in discussion. Mr. Coleman also referred to a report that is being done in order that the LDA can have factual numbers and statistics on sites available to it for development. Is that report completed?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: Does that report or the new updated report that will be published next year, include sites that fall under the Project Tosaigh schemes, or does it only concern direct-build sites?
