Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Ba mhaith liom an Dáil a chur ar athló chun déileáil leis an rún seo atá gá plé leis go práinneach: the urgent need for the Government to intercede with the Israeli authorities and to condemn the fact that the rogue state is preventing Shawan Jabarin, a leading Palestinian human rights activist, from travelling to Ireland to receive an award from National University of Ireland, NUI, Galway; to welcome the recent Irish efforts at European level to prevent Israeli access to the personal data of Irish citizens; to note that such concrete efforts by Ireland to stand up to Israel are long overdue; to express deep disappointment and anger that those efforts were unsuccessful and to call on the Government to take a further stand and demand the European Commission give due regard to the democratically expressed wishes of the Irish people and halt the planned agreement.
