Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. We can certainly give that consideration. I would have to talk to the Tánaiste about it as it is, ultimately, his budget to manage rather than mine. However, we have increased funding for UNRWA, of which the Deputy will be aware. That was an important signal. Other countries suspended their funding. We said we were going to increase it. It is alleged that some UNRWA staff were involved in the terrorist attacks, but that should be proven. It has not been proven yet, despite what the Israeli authorities claim, and we have increased funding for the ICC to help it collect evidence on the ground. Therefore, we are certainly happy to give that consideration but I will have to speak to the Tánaiste about it.
