- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
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...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: I apologise that I will have to leave in a few minutes. There is another meeting on next door dealing with Traveller issues. There are overlaps here as well. People in the Traveller community are also affected by drug use. Professor Michael O'Flaherty, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, is before that committee this morning but I hope to get back. A number of...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: Okay. It seems to mirror the same kind of approach whereby a person is looked on as an individual. They approach the judge and are given an opportunity to engage in restorative justice or in community service. However, the crucial parts are the psychological and social supports and so forth that are in place behind them as well. Does Ms Brennan think there are enough such supports here?...

David Stanton: I have to leave, unfortunately.
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: Go raibh maith agaibh agus fáilte romhaibh anseo. I wish to follow on from what Deputy Gould said on the funding of the national drugs strategy. Although the costings are not available and a determination has to be made on the actions proposed by the citizens’ assembly, we can state quite categorically that the opposite side is very well funded. That does not look like it will...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: Ms Brennan is saying the review is required and that the system works, but that to do it properly, it will have to be on a much bigger scale. Is that correct?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: I agree. There is still the question of addressing the criminal element and drug debt intimidation. Unfortunately, that is how people are being used. We have seen projects such as Greentown. I spoke to someone lately who told me about county lines and escape lines. It is about real interventions to take kids out of certain circumstances. Dealers are really flexible in how they operate...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: I am between two committees so I will listen for a while again. I read the documentation the committee forwarded to me. I will just listen. Senator Ruane has done a lot more than I have on this issue.
