Barry Heneghan (Dublin Bay North, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire for that update. It is very important that we keep the public informed of developments. I welcome his indication that he will meet with Senator Black next Tuesday. I thank him and his Department for the aid already supplied. It is very important that when the occupied territories Bill comes back to the House, provisions regarding resources are included, especially the natural resources that are extracted from the occupied territories. I hope that by taking that step in the right direction, we will see an outcome similar to that of the action taken by the Dunnes Stores workers, with Mary Manning's strike leading to Ireland being the first western country to impose a complete ban on South African goods.

I draw the Tánaiste's attention to a case of family reunification in Dublin Bay North in which a Palestinian family is being taken in but further assistance is being sought. I will give him the details on that.
