Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, RISE) | Oireachtas source

First, I wish to object to the use of a number of guillotines this week. Second, I make the point strongly that we need a debate or a question-and-answer session this week on the issue of munitions flying through Irish sovereign airspace. We have been requesting this debate, as have others, since the Dáil came back and all the evidence suggests that munitions continued to fly through Irish airspace on their way to the Israeli army to be used in the horrific, barbaric genocide that is unfolding before our eyes involving the burning of people to death while they are connected to intensive care units. This is absolutely horrific. We know that the number of airlines involved in this has expanded. FedEx, Lufthansa and Delta Air Lines are the ones which have been added. The Taoiseach told us earlier, and this is the answer we get every single time, that permissions are required to fly through and that no permissions have been granted, as if that is the end of the story. That is far from the end of the story, however, because the point is that the permissions have not been granted and yet the munitions have still gone through. What are we going to do about it? Weeks and weeks are passing and at the very least, we need a debate about this issue this week.
