Marian Harkin (Sligo-Leitrim, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I very much welcome the fact that Ireland, along with some of our European colleagues, proposes to recognise the state of Palestine before the end of the month. I believe the Minister's work and leadership on this matter has been very positive. However, I want to raise another issue that is very important, namely, the EU-Israel trade agreement, something I have raised many times in the House. I have written to the Commission and spoken to the Minister about it. What are we doing to try to move forward and review this agreement? I believe it should be suspended.
