What we are witnessing at the moment and have witnessed in the past six months in Gaza is and has been almost unbearable to look at. I do not know if the Tánaiste saw the report on the BBC the other day where 15 children died basically of malnutrition. It was unbelievable just to see that. Imagine being there and being the mother or father of that child. This is being done in real time by a state that we call a friend and that has an ambassador not too far from here. Over 75 years, what has this country ever done to hold Israel to account? It has done nothing; it has been just absolute lip service. The Tánaiste comes in here every week saying the exact same things. When will Israel be punished and brought to account for the crimes it is committing at this time? Where? Show me where.

The Tánaiste's party in the previous Dáil supported the occupied territories Bill and now his party is hiding. That is a very limited Bill. Can the Tánaiste imagine if that were enacted?
