I concur with Deputy Ó Snodaigh. There is an onus. It is not acceptable that we would hide behind either EU or UN rules and say that because these are the rules, we are just going to allow ourselves to become complicit in what is an elaborate and extensive Israeli war machine. It is imperative the Tánaiste give a commitment that he is doing everything he can to disentangle Ireland from any association with the IDF or Israel-based arms manufacturers, knowing, as we do, that those organisations are currently responsible for what has been described before the International Court of Justice as a genocide. It is important that we send out a clear statement that Ireland is doing everything in our power to disentangle ourselves from any association with these bodies.
