Will the Tánaiste outline the engagement that Ireland's representative on the UN Security Council has had regarding Palestine? It is fair to say that even we just look at it from the 1990s, particularly in the past while, that we have seen Israel move in a right-wing direction. We know the demographics have changed. We know that on some level, there is no degree of cover by the Israeli Government at this point. We need to put pressure on. We would like to work with others but there is an element of having to use what tools we have to put pressure on the Israeli state.
