Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein)

Maybe the Minister's response to this question will not be as pathetic because his words will ring hollow to the children who are being ripped apart in Gaza. The bombs and bullets are funded because Israeli bonds are being facilitated through the Irish Central Bank and he is the Minister of Finance who can actually stop that. It is disgraceful.

I am asking the Minister to explain the steps he is taking to address the situation where insurance companies here are recording profits that are multiples of our European competitors.
