Mary Lou McDonald: ...to correctly express outrage at the death of Alexei Navalny and call for an independent investigation into his death.

Thomas Pringle: ...contrast is stark and it is very clear that Europe does not speak with one voice on this issue.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (20 Feb 2024)

Paul Murphy: I wonder whether, in the Taoiseach's discussions with Rishi Sunak, the question of financial support for Israel's genocide in Gaza came up. Britain continues to be probably the second most enthusiastic supporter of Israel globally after the US. War bonds are a type of government debt to raise capital to fund war efforts. Does the Taoiseach agree that US Treasury bonds have effectively...

Mark Wall: ...stuck with me since it was mentioned in the House earlier is that there are 17,000 unaccompanied children. A new acronym, WCNSF, is being used for "wounded child, no surviving family". This is what Israel is doing in full view of the world. The Tánaiste was right to intervene and say this is wrong and should not be happening and that there is a future, but that future has to start...

I commend the actions taken by the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste in working with Spain to write to the European Commissioner looking for an urgent review of the trade agreement with Israel on the basis of human rights abuses.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...? It is an arrangement with an alliance that is now even more discredited because its leading members, the United States Britain and Germany, are all up their necks in complicity with the Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people.

Seán Haughey: ...and the establishment of a viable Palestinian state. We now see another disaster unfolding in Rafah.

Noel Grealish: I utterly condemn the brutal Hamas attack on 7 October, when 1,200 innocent Israeli people died but does the death of 1,200 innocent people equate to the death of 30,000 innocent civilians in Gaza? This number continues to rise daily as the humanitarian crisis grows. Ireland has great friends in the United States Senate and Congress and in the White House. Will the Taoiseach use his...
