Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: No, it is not unfair. I think the Deputy is referring to a report in The Ditch about the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, talking to the Israeli ambassador. That never happened. He is not here to defend himself but he has been adamant that such a conversation did not happen and he was not spoken to. It is not fair to draw conclusions from a conversation that did not occur.

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: I will not. All I am saying is that the US embassy will contact governments. That is the role of embassies.

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Obviously, we are all waiting for the whistle to be blown in terms of the election. In my time in these Houses, I think this is the 18th Finance Bill I have responded to. Even during the time of the IMF bailout, there was agreement to get the Finance Bill through the House. This guillotine is not appropriate. There are sections in this legislation which will not see the light of day in...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: The only challenge is because it is very comprehensive advice. The Cathaoirleach is a legal person of consequence himself. As he knows-----

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: I am not saying that. Let me finish the point. It is so comprehensive that it points out potential lines of attack from people who might want to undermine the Bill. If you furnish more than ten people with that and it gets into the hands of those who might want to take a case against us, that would weaken our position collectively as a nation in defending such a Bill. That is a real...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Matt Carthy: The Tánaiste has said that a couple of times. Of many conversations which I have had, I have never had a single one with a US politician or representative in which the issue of Palestine was not raised. I know that is the case for many others. I put this to the Tánaiste once again because we put this to him in other weeks. We are ready right now.

Micheál Martin: The Deputy is silent about-----

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Matt Carthy: Bring your amendments to the committee right now and let us go through each of them one by one. Let us get through Committee Stage today and bring it to the Dáil tomorrow. If the Tánaiste is to be trusted on any of this, he would be moving heaven and earth to make sure that we got to pass the Bill this week. The fact that he has not says to me that he cannot be trusted on this...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: Regarding the Bill itself, I have a realistic perspective. I see the Bill as a reflection of the Legislature's opposition to the illegal occupation of the State of Palestine. I do not see the Bill ending the war, Deputy Carthy. We need to have a bit of perspective about this and be honest with the Irish people. Passing this Bill will not stop Israel's behaviour, unfortunately. We were...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: The US wanted a ceasefire.

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Micheál Martin: It did not get a ceasefire. This idea that, if we pass this Bill, it will have a seismic impact on Israel is, unfortunately, not the case. It will not have a consequence.

Catherine Connolly: I dtús báire, tá botún le réiteach. There is a typographical error that the Minister will address.

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Jack Chambers: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I wish to draw Deputies' attention to a minor typographical error that my Department has noted in the Bill on page 161, line 14. A reference has been inadvertently labelled “89A(ii) of (iii)” rather than the correct version of “89A(ii) or (iii)”. I seek to invoke Dáil Standing Order 196 to request that...

SECTION 1

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I move amendment No. 1: In page 9, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following: “ “investment undertaking” includes a retail credit firm as defined in section 28 of the Central Bank Act 1997 and any other person who owns credit which is being serviced by a credit servicer as defined in section 28(2) of that Act.”. I am very concerned about the lack of...
