Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein)

The point I would make is that she is an outlier on a lot of these issues. There has not been a discussion with regard to leaders on a lot of these issues. Her latest one is putting the blame on Iran for being the unsettling force in that region. That is just one example. There is stuff regarding Israel, her phone call with Netanyahu and so on. Billy Kelleher said she is basically being given political cover on many of these issues.

I want to go back to some other issues. The Minister of State might remember that, prior to the meeting, there were a number of issues regarding the firing on Irish troops in Lebanon. There was shooting at Irish, EU and other diplomats. Was that, and the escalation that has clearly happened, discussed at all in the sidebar at the meeting? Ireland is directly involved but are other member states concerned about what is happening?
