Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It is absolutely necessary, and I have spoken with the Tánaiste on this previously, that communication is maintained with the families of our peacekeepers, who are doing absolutely necessary work. We have had huge worries. It is a disgrace, but it is just a continuity of disgraceful actions by the IDF in firing on UNIFIL positions. Will the Tánaiste give an update on his interactions with the UN as regards the mandate? A number of people have mentioned the difficulty that our Defence Forces and others have in maintaining the mandate on the basis that a huge number of local people who are in that vicinity have fled due to fear of the IDF. It is vitally important we make sure that we secure those who are doing this vital work, especially on the basis that we know what happened with Private Seán Rooney. That particular issue with the coroner needs to be followed up on.
