- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Passport Services (27 Jun 2024)
Matt Carthy: Everybody values the Irish passport. It is one of many people's most prized possessions, particularly those who have had to leave our country and move elsewhere. It is a source of pride to display the passport with the harp anywhere in the world and see the value that is attached to it by others. It is also an entitlement of every Irish citizen to have a passport, and there is a...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: European Union (27 Jun 2024)
Micheál Martin: When I say that the European Parliament elections should be respected and reflected in the composition of the senior positions, the bottom line is that the European People's Party, EPP, was returned as the largest single political group, followed by the socialist group and the liberal group. Just as in the aftermath of a Dáil election, parties get together and make decisions. That is...

Gino Kenny: 2. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will call on President Biden to cease providing military aid and support to Israel; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27744/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (27 Jun 2024)
Gino Kenny: My question relates to the ongoing slaughter in Gaza. Has the Tánaiste or his Administration had any contact with the American ambassador here or with Joe Biden about the continuing arming of Israel and its absolute genocide in Gaza?
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (27 Jun 2024)
Micheál Martin: As we approach the tenth month of the conflict in Gaza, the utmost priority remains the need for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, and full, safe and unhindered humanitarian access. I welcome the three-phase ceasefire plan outlined by President Biden at the beginning of this month. This has since been endorsed by the UN Security Council in UN Security...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (27 Jun 2024)
Gino Kenny: International law has gone out the door. In the past ten months, over 45,000 people have been murdered by the Israeli state, including 15,000 children. It is hard to believe. What we see daily on our news screens is almost impossible to comprehend. This is akin to what the Nazis were doing in occupied Europe. Joe Biden was welcomed with open arms in this country, in some ways...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (27 Jun 2024)
Micheál Martin: There is no doubt that there have been breaches of international humanitarian law and it continues on a systemic basis by Israel and by Hamas. I note the Deputy has not called out Hamas in his comments. I think he should do so because it could also lay down arms right now and contribute very significantly to a ceasefire. It could release the hostages. We need to be equally strong in...

Matt Carthy: 1. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the engagements he has had regarding the formation of the next European Commission; and if he supports the proposed reappointment of Ursula von der Leyen as Commission President considering her actions in supporting the State of Israel in the ongoing assaults on Palestine. [27472/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: European Union (27 Jun 2024)
Matt Carthy: Will the Tánaiste confirm to the Dáil whether it is really the Government's intention to support today the reappointment of Ursula von der Leyen as the President of the European Commission considering her actions in supporting unequivocally the State of Israel in its ongoing assault on Palestine and grievous breaches of international law?

Micheál Martin: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. At the informal European Council meeting on 17 June, leaders reflected on the outcome of the European Parliament elections and focused on the new EU institutional cycle, which included the position of President of the European Commission. There was an acknowledgement that the outcome of the European elections should be respected and reflected in...
