- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Paul Murphy: He is a socialist in name only.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: Let us not have a debate on the meaning of socialism. We can have that discussion another time. I am pointing out that across the political spectrum represented at the European Council, there was backing for President von der Leyen. There is an important democratic point to consider in regard to the lead candidate system. Ursula von der Leyen was the lead candidate for the European...

Cormac Devlin: I was going to ask the Taoiseach to conclude but I will allow a little extra time.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I will do my best to be quick. It is fair to say at this stage that the conversations that are happening at a European level on security and defence are in the provisional and preliminary space. By that I mean we are yet to see proposals tabled. There are a lot of views, particularly from countries in eastern Europe, which are much closer to the front line in terms of Russian aggression,...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I propose to take Questions Nos. 6 to 13, inclusive, together. I had a telephone conversation with President Biden on the evening of Monday, 17 June. He congratulated me on my recent appointment as Taoiseach and I thanked him for his enduring friendship to our country. We spoke of the deep and growing co-operation between our two countries, built on deep historical and ancestral ties,...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Seán Haughey: The US Supreme Court found this week that Presidents are immune from prosecution in respect of official acts. One wonders what direction the US is going in at this time. President Biden is firmly committed to liberal democratic values. It was important that the Taoiseach spoke to him following his nomination and appointment, given the close relations between our two countries. As the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Seán Haughey: The more things change, the more things remain the same. Following the most recent European Council meeting, Ursula von der Leyen is set to become European Commission President once again, provided, of course, that she is endorsed by the European Parliament. In addition, the centrist coalition in the Parliament has held, by and large, despite the shift to the right in France. I see that...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Israel would not be able to continue what the International Court of Justice has rightly recognised as a possible genocide, the worst possible crime anybody is capable of committing, without the favoured trade status, political support and arms it receives from the European Union. It simply would not be able to do it. The European Union is the biggest trading partner of Israel. Germany...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Mick Barry: Real life is showing that the centre right acts as a handmaiden for the far right. In the US, the incompetence and policies of Biden and the Democrats is paving the way for Trump. In France, the policies of Macron have paved the way for Le Pen and the far right. There is now a real threat of a far right government by the end of this weekend. By adopting far right policy proposals, many...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: More than 37,900 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed over the past nine months, including nearly 15,000 children. On some level, what we have all seen happening on our TV screens is unreal. Israel has refused calls for a summit of the state parties to the EU-Israel association agreement to discuss its compliance with its human rights obligations under the summit. The Commission President...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
Paul Murphy: The far right is, unfortunately, on the march across Europe. It is on the verge of coming to power in France. We will see what has happened by the end of the week. We hope it is not in power. It will be the first far right government in France since the Vichy regime. The party of the RN has its origins in that regime. Members of the SS operated within France in support of the Nazi...
