I welcome the opportunity to take part in this discussion. I start with Ireland's recognition of the State of Palestine on 22 May, which was very welcome. I do not see that reflected here. There is nothing on the follow-up and the steps we need to take in any of the seven items listed on the agenda. I would have thought the EU-Israel trade agreement would have been top of the list when it comes to taking action.
