Micheál Martin: That is the conclusion I am drawing from it.

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...

Ukraine War
- 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...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: This has been a useful conversation. We are still talking about it in terms of saying that people are getting off scot-free. There is a sense of that in the public; I do not mean the witnesses are saying it. That there is a sense in the public that diversion means that people are getting scot-free for hurting themselves just seems crazy. Deputy McAuliffe left and is coming back in a...

Neasa Hourigan: I am often on the road between Dublin and Limerick. That journey seems particularly onerous for someone who might not be having their best few weeks. However, Limerick in general-----

Neasa Hourigan: Mr. Duffin said that gardaí are very co-operative and that they have a very good relationship down there. That brings me to my next question. I have encountered somebody who had previous convictions and who does a lot of work on it. They said to me - I was surprised because they are a huge advocate for drug treatment - that they would not be in favour of decriminalisation because they...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I was just thinking of something that someone said to me on the doorstep last night. He said someone broke into his car and the person also had an addiction issue on top of that. What this man was describing to me was that for that person the point at which they access services or were offered anything was at the point when they went into the court system. Surely that is a problem. It...
