Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (Cork South-Central, Sinn Fein)

I appreciate the Minister of State's comments and agree with him. It is an extraordinarily severe humanitarian situation. People are facing starvation and dying for lack of food and medicine, while the conflict carries on unabated. This is being exacerbated by the flow of weapons. It has been alleged that certain countries are continuing to supply a significant amount of weapons both to the Sudanese Government and to the RSF. The Irish Government is likely aware of some of these reports. Some of the countries in question deny they are supplying arms but they are coming from somewhere; that is for sure. Has the Irish Government directly raised with the governments of the countries in question its concerns regarding the continued flow of weapons to the area, which continues to exacerbate what is an appalling conflict that is causing enormous human suffering?
