Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: I want to build consensus here and a proper approach to this issue.

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: People are being obliterated in Gaza as we speak. The Tánaiste has every excuse for inaction. He says he is deeply committed to international law and accountability, but where are the sanctions against Israel that we desperately need now? Why is Irish airspace being used now to facilitate weapons being transported to Israel to kill children? It is fine to say there are policies and...

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Catherine Murphy: As this will be my last time to speak in the Dáil, I take the opportunity to thank the people of Kildare North who have afforded me the privilege to represent them over many years. I also thank my supporters and particularly those who have worked with me, my parliamentary assistant, Aaron McAllorum, and my constituency manager, Fionnuala Killeen. I thank the staff of the Houses for...

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Holly Cairns: That is a very low bar.

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: The clear message from my extensive engagement with international partners, who have expressly welcomed the approach of the Government, is that we sustain it. These efforts are continuing as we speak. As this House is aware, steps are being taken by the Israeli Parliament against UNRWA. These could bring about the collapse of the entire humanitarian response in Gaza, which rests on...

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Gary Gannon: No, it was not. I was there.

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: It is not that it is so-called "unconstitutional"; it is unconstitutional. No one is arguing with that and those measures have to be amended. I emphasise in particular that the ICJ advisory opinion did not somehow drop from the sky. Again, some in the Opposition have ignored this. The Government strongly supported the request by the General Assembly for this advisory opinion in December...

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Holly Cairns: A year into this slaughter, what has changed in the Irish position? After nearly 44,000 dead, including nearly 17,000 children, after more than 100,000 people injured, after 10,000 people missing, buried in the wreckage and the rubble, after an expansion of the conflict to Lebanon, nothing has changed. We still maintain normal diplomatic relations with Israel. We still maintain normal...

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: I welcome the opportunity to address the situation in Gaza, which remains an issue of profound concern and horror for the Government, this House and the people of Ireland. It is now over 12 months since this House adopted a motion in the aftermath of the attacks perpetrated by Hamas and other terrorist groups against Israel on 7 October 2023. At that time, we unreservedly condemned these...

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Gary Gannon: I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes that: — more than 150,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded in Gaza since Israel began its military operation more than 12 months ago; — among this number are more than 43,000 people who have been confirmed dead, two-thirds of whom are women and children; — more than 90 per cent of Gaza's...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Network (7 Nov 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit faoin méad atá ráite aige. It does not address the issue. This issue has been going on for nearly 20 years. There are TDs across different political divides who raised this issue with the National Roads Authority before it was subsumed into TII. The authorities are not budging. There is a blanket policy here. I understand the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Network (7 Nov 2024)

Thomas Byrne: I will certainly pass the comments of the Deputy to the Minister for Transport. The speed limit issue has been dealt with and the local authority and local councillor colleagues of the Deputy can engage with TII. An allocation of almost €30 million was provided to Donegal County Council for national roads in 2024. There are six major projects in the county, including Dungloe to...
