- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Why did Simon Harris not say yesterday to the United States, "Stop arming a genocide. Stop giving weapons to people to commit genocide." Even now, the Tánaiste will not use the word "genocide". He will not say "They're committing genocide", even though the world is saying it and it is obvious they are committing it. The Tánaiste is still failing to distinguish between the...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: The Israeli war against the Palestinian people is nothing other than genocide. We need to support the South African case. We need that to happen as quickly as possible. Of course we want a ceasefire. How could we not when we have seen at least 42,000 Palestinians slaughtered? We welcome the moves to recognise the Palestinian state by Ireland, Spain and Norway. We need to see movement on...

Micheál Martin: I am disturbed by Deputy Boyd Barrett's assertions when he refers to a few "nasty things". Murdering and slaughtering 1,200 people, some at a music concert, is not a little nasty thing. It is an outrage and should be condemned as morally reprehensible. I find it extraordinary what the Deputy has just said in this House. He has essentially said that is just a few nasty things that are...

Richard Boyd Barrett: That is not what I said.
- 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...

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...

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...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their statements and for taking the time to be with us today. All of the statements were really strong with regard to what we are trying to do on this committee. What we are trying to do is prepare and examine constitutional change and the constitutional future, how we prepare for that and how we ensure all voices are heard, and particularly for this piece of work...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: That is good. I thank Ms Murphy. Does Ms O'Connor want to add to that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: That is good. I want to ask the witnesses about the framework. All of this really good work is being done and we need a framework within which to put this, not least because resources will be needed for doing the work and, as the witnesses rightly say, in facilitating people to break down the barriers that are there, whether it be childcare, elder care or the many other things that hinder...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to ask about Reverend Sethuraman's outreach to unionist and Protestant communities. From her experience, do they have any additional needs in terms of resources? What needs to be done to ensure this conversation is fully inclusive?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Thanks for that insight. Does Ms O'Connor want to talk about the framework and resources needed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: That would be Government-led.
