Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This Government has taken a number of actions on behalf of the Irish people. I am proud of the approach Ireland has taken. I believe Irish people are proud of the approach we have taken. We are on the right side of history in this country. The Palestinian people and the President of the Palestinian National Authority know that too. One day, the Deputy might also acknowledge the positive efforts of this Government and the people of this country to help bring about a two-state solution. In the meantime, we will work to progress legislation in line with the programme for Government. However, we will only work to progress legislation that is lawful and constitutional and that complies with EU law.
