Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: The addresses from the witnesses were very powerful. I thank them for the hard work they have been doing in reaching out to people in their communities. I have been very impressed in particular by what the witnesses collectively say about the need for consent and representation - gender and otherwise. If we are to build a new Ireland, the issue that goes to the heart of the matter is that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: There is a huge outbreak of racism. It starts in the political domain. They are using coded words and gathering negative momentum and causing strife and trouble. We are in a different Ireland now. The potential for negative outcomes is growing, certainly visibly on the streets and in our political discourse. We need to deal with it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: That is a key point. The difficulty is that if we have a Border poll before the time is right, without having public buy-in, it will be hugely divisive. The consequences for relationships between people, whatever they might be before that, could be catastrophic. A negative outcome risks tearing everything apart again. That is the difficulty I see. It is so important to get it right....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Export Controls (10 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: Over the past year, as the genocide in Gaza in particular has intensified and as a global boycott campaign has grown, the Israeli economy contracted quite an amount. Its credit rating has been downgraded multiple times and its economy has suffered across virtually every sector. Yet, one area that is apparently booming is its trade in dual-use items with a military purpose with Ireland in...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Export Controls (10 Oct 2024)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Export Controls (10 Oct 2024)

Micheál Martin: The Department of Foreign provided observations in 31 export licence requests where the end use country was Israel in 2024. The Department of Foreign Affairs previously provided 116 cases of foreign policy observations generally across the board to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment on dual-use export licence applications to Israel since 2020, over the past four years. In...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Export Controls (10 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: I am told there is a quote in respect of a number of licences and the fact that they have grown that they raise a higher or potentially more serious risk of misuse because they are going to state agencies or linked companies. That is in respect of dual-use items exported to Israel. To be clear, when a state, whether it be Russia, Israel or any other oppressive state, is currently engaged in...
