- Conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (23 Jan 2024)
Micheál Martin: I have not heard you condemn it ever, Deputy Boyd Barrett, and that is telling in itself. You have never condemned the Hamas attack on 7 October, which involved brutal murder, rape and violent violations of human rights. Denying the right of the Jewish people to self-determination is not acceptable either. Blaming individual Israeli or Jewish people for the actions of the Israeli...
- Conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (23 Jan 2024)
Micheál Martin: I move: That Dáil Éireann: expresses its deepest concern at the continued deterioration of the situation in Gaza and the resulting catastrophic humanitarian disaster with over 24,000 dead, thousands missing, 1.9 million people displaced, and massive destruction of housing and vital infrastructure, including education facilities; deeply deplores the major food insecurity on a...
- Seanad: Human Rights in China: Motion (23 Jan 2024)
Micheál Martin: I have to go into the other House to take defence questions in about 20 minutes.

Last week, President Higgins and the Taoiseach availed of their meetings with Premier Li to formally...
- Seanad: Human Rights in China: Motion (23 Jan 2024)
Micheál Martin: Trade is the lifeblood of the country. We trade with many countries all over the world. That is where the multilateralism comes in and that is why multilateral forums are very important to Ireland. We need to deal with issues in a proper and informed way. Trade is not the be-all and end-all but it is a fairly significant issue for many people living in this country. It relates to jobs...
- Seanad: Human Rights in China: Motion (23 Jan 2024)
Micheál Martin: Our speech in May deals with that. We all need to get a bit real. Some 80% of pharmaceuticals consumed in America are made in China. Climate change will not happen without China's manufacturing capacity. We cannot gear up in terms of the wind infrastructure or solar panels to give the manufacturing capacity in China. I have spoken to the European Chamber of Commerce in Beijing. I have...
- Written Answers — Department of Defence: Defence Forces (23 Jan 2024)
Micheál Martin: The ongoing staffing challenges in the Defence Forces with regard to retention are fully acknowledged and well documented. In this, we are no different to other international militaries who, in a competitive labour market, are also experiencing similar difficulties. The immediate focus is on stabilising the numbers of personnel, and to facilitate capacity for further increases. In light of...
