- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Unfortunately, we timed it because it was an important question. We are going to reduce the time back to one minute now. The Tánaiste got the extra time, but it was an important topic. If it is okay with Deputy Smith, we will come back to his question as a separate slot.

Catherine Connolly: I call Deputy Carthy.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Notwithstanding any appeals that have been made to the Israeli Government, it is fair to assume, although disappointing that it is the case, that Israel is unlikely to heed the calls of the international community because the evidence we have, not only over the past year but for much longer, is that Israel does not need any words, only significant sanctions. There is no indication that such...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: The Defence Forces have advised that there are sufficient supplies of both water and food in Camp Shamrock as well as the availability of contingency food packs, and that further deliveries were made to Camp Shamrock over the last weekend. This is in addition to a contingency supply chain that is in place to allow all of UNIFIL to remain in place for up to 30 days. These contingency...

Duncan Smith: I wish to discuss this issue further and put on record my and our deep appreciation for the valuable work Irish peacekeepers do as part of the UNIFIL force. In the Tánaiste's view, where do we go in terms of UN peacekeeping? It feels that we may be at a tipping point with this mission and the direct attacks from Israel, which may be geographically in the Middle East but culturally...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: There is a fundamental issue in terms of Israel's approach to the United Nations more generally. We might remember that UNIFIL is there as a result of the UN Security Council. In my view, Israel cannot continue to undermine UN agencies. We see what is happening in the Knesset in respect of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, UNRWA, for...

Catherine Connolly: I am sticking to the time on this because we allowed extra time previously. The Deputy has a full minute.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)
Duncan Smith: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. We have all been ranging from disappointment to being aghast in this country at the continued support for Israel, either militarily or politically, over the past year as its massively disproportionate response to the attacks on 7 October continues to bring death and destruction for the people of Gaza and now Lebanon. If the burning of people alive in the...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: In respect of the mandate more generally, the international community has put pressure on Israel in respect of the attacks and the firing on UN outposts. That is having some impact, and that needs to have impact, although, again, the Deputy made some important and valid points. What is happening in northern Gaza is quite shocking and reprehensible in respect of the ordering of 400,000...

Departmental Funding
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Funding (17 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: 3. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the amount of funding surrendered from his Department to the Exchequer, in 2023; the reason the allocated funds were unspent; the amount he expects his Department to surrender in 2024, and the reason therefore. [42032/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Funding (17 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: This question is fairly straightforward. At a time when we continue to see more members of the Defence Forces leave than join each year, could the Tánaiste outline how much money from his Department was actually surrendered back to the Exchequer in 2023, the reason these allocated funds were unspent and whether he expects his Department to surrender further funds in 2024?

Matt Carthy: 1. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence his views on the current situation facing Irish Defence Forces personnel deployed to Lebanon as part of the UNIFIL mission; and his response to the recent attacks against UNIFIL by Israel. [42031/24]
