- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (1 May 2024)
Paul Murphy: When Leo Varadkar was in Boston, he said that the US and Ireland must dedicate themselves to peace in Gaza. The US Administration has continued to dedicate itself to supporting, financing and arming genocide, but students across America have fought for peace and protested against genocide and for their universities to divest from that genocide. Students at Columbia University, for example,...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: It is vital that in any engagement with the American Administration, serious emphasis is placed on where the Irish people stand on the brutal slaughter of the Palestinian people.

I had a number...

Seán Haughey: The then Taoiseach, Deputy Leo Varadkar, was right to attend the traditional St. Patrick's Day celebrations in Washington this year despite the urging of some in this House for him not to do so. Ireland has deep historical, social, cultural and economic links with the USA which combine to make it a very special relationship. St. Patrick's Day allows us to have unrivalled access to the US...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I am one of the people who believes Leo Varadkar should not have gone to meet Joe Biden. Biden has said on several occasions throughout his career the following words: “If there were not an Israel, we'd have to invent one”. In those words, he revealed the true nature of the relationship between the United States and the crimes that Israel has committed against the Palestinian...
