Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

There was no missed opportunity last night. I have to say that no country has joined the ICJ case by South Africa because it has only asked for preliminary provisional measures. Typically, countries intervene after the country that has asked for preliminary measures submits a substantive case. As a legal person, the Deputy knows in her heart that no opportunity was missed last night. Can we have a degree of honesty? If she really wants a cross-party approach, we need honesty on this, not political rhetoric and play-acting.
