Mr. Cross said the Central Bank's decision-making needs to be reasoned and proportionate. Given what has been taking place in Gaza, given our obligations under international law, given that there is a genocide taking place against the Palestinian people - I note that the Governor seems to dispute the fact that there is a genocide and says that it has not been determined yet in international courts, which seems to dispute the views of the Irish Government, the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste, who are all on the record as saying there is a genocide taking place - and given the gravity of what is happening in Gaza, why are those issues, in terms of a reasoned and proportionate decision-making process, not taking precedence over the bank's concerns about connectivity?
