Micheál Martin: No. I want to make the point that you had a go at Fianna Fáil; fair enough. Our support for Palestinians' right to self-determination has been consistent. We may differ in terms of different mechanisms and approaches as how to achieve that, but the bottom line is I am proud that this Government took the decision to recognise Palestine as a state. We have a lot more to do in that regard.
