Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Our position is that we will pass a Bill that is strengthened due to the fact that it can stand up to scrutiny at an EU level. That is important because we have to pass laws that are compliant. I will meet the Palestinian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister in Munich this weekend where I will continue to discuss with them all of the efforts Ireland, the Irish Government and the Irish people are making to support the people of Palestine and international law. I made the point before that the only place on earth where it seems the work of the Irish Government in support of the people of Palestine is not recognised is here in the Dáil.
