Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

She represents them. That is how it works. She is their representative in this country. We made her an ambassador by recognising the State of Palestine.

On the occupied territories Bill, let me be clear. There are legal issues about services. We will tease through them and, if we can make progress on them that is what we intend to do, but we need other countries to move. If this is not about performative politics and actually about helping to save lives in Gaza, today we need to call on other EU member states to join us and bring forward their own legislation and stop waiting for EU unanimity. Let us get on with the job.
