I say to the people watching those clips that they should know this. This country is leading at a European level in standing up for Palestine, international law and human rights. This country is now going to take further action on this. I think there is a bit of the Deputy that is frustrated and upset that we have offered to constructively work with the Opposition in how we move this forward. The Deputy is not the international court. The international law based system does not work with him standing up saying, "This is the way it is." We follow the advisory opinions of the ICJ and when the ICJ gave an advisory opinion in July the three leaders of this coalition asked what that means in the context of what this Parliament, this Dáil, can do. We sought updated legal advice and are now proceeding on that basis.

The Deputy seeks to divide on every single issue.
