- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: I am not going to accept the charge that this Government is not taking action in relation to calling out breaches of international law, standing up for human rights, supporting the people of Palestine, recognising the State of Palestine and supporting our peacekeepers. Quite frankly, I find it stomach-churning to hear Deputy Boyd Barrett suggesting we do not do that because that is...

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Taoiseach. It is encouraging to hear that we will not wait for European consensus and that the advice will go to the Cabinet next week. Certainly, if there is anything we in the Opposition can do to ensure the expediting of the passage of the occupied territories Bill, I think we will all do it. It has cross-party support. That is encouraging. At EU level, we support the...

Simon Harris: Political leaders across Europe are well behind the people on this matter. The reality is that Europe should be doing more. Let me be clear about the United States. It is in no doubt at all about the position of the people and Government of Ireland about Gaza, Palestine and the need for a ceasefire and a two-state solution. I share the Deputy's view passionately and at every meeting I...

Richard Boyd Barrett: The images of people of burning alive at Al Aqsa Hospital and in a tented camp beside it are possibly the most horrific, stomach churning, terrifying images of this horrific year of genocide by Israel against the people of Gaza. I suspect those images will be a lasting image in people's minds of the utter horror Israel is inflicting on the people of Gaza - burning people alive in hospitals,...

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising the most important situation at the moment in terms of the horrific humanitarian catastrophe, breach of international law and war crimes that are being committed. Tomorrow, I will attend a meeting of the European Union with the gulf states and on Thursday I will attend a meeting of the European Council where I will engage in detail with EU partners on the...

Mary Lou McDonald: The only problem with that perspective is that the legal obligation for an assessment of needs within six months is set out in law. As we speak now, the State continues to break the law. The Taoiseach will concede and accept that.

Simon Harris: That is true.

Mary Lou McDonald: I hope he also accepts that this is not a tolerable situation. That has to change and for it to change, he needs to name a date, in my opinion. That is also the opinion, as the Taoiseach knows, of Cara Darmody, of her father Mark, and everybody who has campaigned very hard on this issue. I mentioned Jaden and Ciara to the Taoiseach. Like many parents, Ciara is not on her own. There...

Simon Harris: Please do.

Mary Lou McDonald: -----although he is not an exception. There are many others in that situation. Rather than questioning the commitment for the six-month rule, can the Taoiseach make a commitment that the law will be respected and that the six-month rule will be upheld? The Taoiseach knows that is the campaign of Cara Darmody in the end - yes, private provision in the meantime and the finance for it but she...

Simon Harris: I smiled supportively there because definitely Cara does not need the Deputy or me to speak for her.

Mary Lou McDonald: That is for sure.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: She has been very clear and been able to speak to me directly, and I have appreciated those engagements, blunt and frank as they have been. She is an incredible young woman. What I would say directly to Jaden's mum Ciara - I would be very happy to engage with Deputy McDonald further on this - is that we have a pathway now to make significant progress on assessments of needs. It is not just...

Ivana Bacik: I raise the ongoing brutal bombardment by Israel of Gaza and Lebanon, and I want to ask the Taoiseach about the occupied territories Bill. Over the last few days, I think we have all watched with great distress as Israel's actions have escalated still further to an even more horrific degree in Gaza and Lebanon. On Sunday morning, UNIFIL reported that 15 peacekeepers were injured in Lebanon...

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue, an issue that I know is close to all our hearts and indeed all our priorities. I note the Sinn Féin Private Members' motion on the matter this week, which applies an appropriate degree of focus to this very important issue. We have taken a number of steps in recent weeks alone to try to make significant progress in the lives of...
