Richard Boyd Barrett: 4. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to report on any discussions with his US or Israeli counterparts about the ongoing crisis in the Middle East as a result of Israel's assault on Gaza, in the West Bank, and now in Lebanon; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Richard Boyd Barrett: We are signatories of the Genocide Convention; it is Irish law. That requires signatories not just to join legal cases but to take all action in its power to deter, prevent and obstruct the commission of a genocide. What is the Tánaiste doing in that regard? What has he said to the US Government or, for that matter, the Israeli Government, about the plausible commission of a genocide...

Micheál Martin: The question originally tabled was to report on my discussions with the US or Israeli counterparts about the ongoing crisis in the Middle East as a result of Israel's assault on Gaza, in the West Bank and now in Lebanon and if I will make a statement on the matter. The crisis in the Middle East remains a key priority for me and the Government across our engagements, including in our...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I framed the question about the Genocide Convention because I want to know what the character of the Tánaiste's intervention with the United States or Israel is. We have more or less got it, "Ah, we condemn this, we condemn that." A bit of this, a bit of that. I am trying to reframe this and say we are talking about genocide. We are signatories of the Genocide Convention. The...

Gino Kenny: 2. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the reason the Irish delegation did not join the many delegations that walked out during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the UN General Assembly on 27 September in protest at Israel’s genocide in Gaza; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40782/24]

Gino Kenny: On 27 September Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech at the UN. Many delegates left when he spoke. Why did the Irish delegation not join the many people who refused to listen to a warmonger like Netanyahu?

Micheál Martin: I thank the Deputy for the question. Ireland's membership of the United Nations is at the heart of our foreign policy. We take seriously our obligation to translate the values and principles of the UN Charter into action. Ireland has had a long-standing policy of engagement throughout the entirety of the opening of the General Assembly of the United Nations. In practice, this means our...

Gino Kenny: These are abnormal times. Cordiality and protocol should go out the door. If the Tánaiste had been there when this warmonger was speaking, would he have listened or would he have left? Many people from across the world, particularly the developing world, left because they did not want to listen to this man who has killed more than 40,000 people in Gaza, including 21,000 children. If...

Micheál Martin: The Deputy said "a little bit". Come off it. I do not agree with him and I have to disagree fundamentally with him.

Micheál Martin: Ireland has taken action in respect of the entire situation in the Middle East, not least the recognition of the State of Palestine, with Spain. We have called for a review of the association agreement, with Spain. We led the way in terms of our participation in the international courts, supported the ICJ advisory opinion in calling for it to be deliberated in the first instance, and also...

Gino Kenny: The Tánaiste has been very inconsistent. We have called for the expulsion of the Russian ambassador and the Israeli ambassador. Both of them should be expelled for the war crimes they are committing. The Tánaiste needs to go beyond words. One of the things we have been calling for is enactment of the occupied territories Bill. Can the Tánaiste imagine if the Government had...
