I thank Mr. Downes for his replies.

My party is very strongly of the view that we need to be much stronger in looking for trade sanctions against Israel now. I appreciate everything our guests have said about the strictures of our EU obligations but when people are being slaughtered in such a manner by the Israeli Government, it is unconscionable that the Irish State would stand back and not act with economic sanctions at this point. I thank our guests for their attendance here today.
