- Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: I add my voice in condemnation of the Israeli military killings in the Gaza Strip in recent days, most especially the bombing of people sheltering in a school in the Gaza Strip. I wish to highlight the incredible hypocrisy of the western world. NATO can point the finger at one country for an atrocity but finds it unable to point the finger at another country for equal if not worse...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (10 Jul 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: The new Labour Party Government in Britain allows for a significant change in the relationship between Ireland and Britain on a number of fronts. The first is the issue of immigration. Figures yesterday showed an 87% increase in the number of asylum applicants in a six-month period of this year, a significant increase. If it continues for the rest of the year, it will probably be the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Murphy: I also refer to the British elections. Ordinary people across Britain are delighted to see the back of the Tories after 14 years which saw corporate profits soar while their waters were polluted by privatised corporations, the number of food banks exploded to an extraordinary level and child poverty increased. As has been said, Keir Starmer seems determined to say little will change either...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (10 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: Not that I am aware but I will double check for Deputy Murphy. I thank Deputy Brendan Smith for the point he made today and has made on a number of occasions about the importance of the opportunity for Ireland and Britain to engage at a senior level. In my initial conversation with the Prime Minister, we spoke about the importance of getting the structure for engagement right, for the...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I propose to answer Questions Nos. 6 to 9, inclusive, together. I attended a meeting of the European Council in Brussels on 27 June. I was delighted to travel to Brussels with my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Carroll MacNeill. At the meeting, which had an extensive agenda, leaders and heads of state and government agreed on a package of appointments and nominations to top...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Imelda Munster: On the situation in Gaza, it must be unprecedented for journalists and media to have so little access to a war zone. It was reported previously that international media can only cover the conflict if the State of Israel has given the okay to coverage beforehand. That is madness if it is correct. Is that correct to the best of the witnesses' knowledge?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Imelda Munster: A total of 108 journalists have been killed and quite possibly more. The families of journalists have also been killed. One cannot comprehend how Israel has been allowed to behave. Listening to the witnesses' suggestions, whether it is keeping pressure on the International Criminal Court, ICC, or Ireland intervening as a third party to the ICJ, are there sanctions for this outrageous...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Imelda Munster: This question is for any of our witnesses. Is there a particular reason that we know of for him to act so slowly regarding Gaza?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Imelda Munster: It is directed to Ms Joris, Ms Evans and anybody else.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Imelda Munster: With regard to the third-party intervention to the ICJ, we can sit here day in, day out and be sickened by what we witness in Gaza. Particularly with regard to today's topic, I propose rather than just listening and being sickened by it all that the committee write to the Minister and ask her to carry out that third party intervention on behalf of the Government and state the committee would...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Imelda Munster: I thank the Cathaoirleach.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Imelda Munster: I want to ask a question of Ms Joris and Ms Evans. Ms Joris mentioned in her opening statement that countries like Ireland need to use their influence to ensure conflict parties are bound by international law. Can she comment on how we are doing at present and what we can do to improve this? I ask the same question of Ms Evans. I had raised the issue of journalists in Gaza and our...
