Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

In the first instance, we need a full and comprehensive report regarding the reports we heard when coming into the Chamber. I do not have comprehensive report on what transpired in respect of UNIFIL positions in Lebanon prior to us coming in here. It would be wise to wait for a comprehensive account and report of the situation. Suffice it to say, a ceasefire should be immediately agreed between Hezbollah and Israel and the bombardment of densely populated areas of Lebanon should stop forthwith. Too many innocent people have been killed. A million people have been displaced. It is almost like a second Gaza in Lebanon. It is reprehensible. Ireland has taken action. We have raised this at the level of the European Union with particular regard to the ICJ and so forth.
