- 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...

- 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...

- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I thank all the witnesses for being here, especially Mr. Duffin. We have talked about this many times and it is good to see us at a point where an Oireachtas committee is considering a health-led approach. It is my view we should move towards such an approach. As the people who are interested in this committee are all in the same space, sometimes we are preaching to the converted, so I...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I suppose that is part of the challenge in that as we start to think about this issue, people do not want to make things worse. Most people are in that space. As they do not want to make things worse, there is a lot of consensus now building around the health-led approach. As we delve more into it, however, there is the spectre of the industry being there and the intimidation, gangland...

Paul McAuliffe: Even if no change is made, a lot of people will ask why not put more people through the drugs court; why is it not operating nationally,; why do we not do more and is that model not used more? Will the witnesses answer some of those questions?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I will ask about mental health because often we find, and it was part of the dual diagnosis report conducted by the Finglas Addiction Support Team, FAST, and DCU, that so much of the two issues are interlinked. From the witnesses' work in the drugs court, and Mr. Duffin's at Ana Liffey, will they paint a picture of how much of a role mental health plays in the area of addiction?
