Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: 1. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his views on the situation in Sudan, and on the Government's position on same. [38023/25]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (10 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I wish to highlight that there is a defence committee meeting this morning, so I will take the Priority Questions and then I will have to depart to attend that. On my first question, the Tánaiste and I had a brief exchange last week in the committee regarding an area of huge human suffering and human rights infringements. Many people are facing hunger and displacement in Sudan, an...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (10 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Sudan is a very significant country in the region with a large population of about 50 million. It is in that context that the scale of what is being faced is to be recognised. Different reports suggest that the number of people displaced is between 9 and 12 million, with some 24.6 million facing acute hunger. That is almost half the population. There are significant ramifications for the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (10 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: That point of awareness is very important here and at European level. We had discussions post-European Council recently. At a European level it does not seem to me that this is getting the attention it ought to either. I might ask that at future European discussions, Ireland makes sure this will appear on the agenda. I appreciate that lots of conflicts are being discussed there,...

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: This has been a really useful engagement. A number of committee members were keen to hear from RACO because there was a need for the discussion on this legislation to be broader than simply the triple lock because it has significant implications. I will take this opportunity to thank our guests and their members for their service. I also want to thank retired members of the Defence Forces...

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: As Mr. King said to me, it was just a copy-and-paste job and parts of it have no application whatsoever to air traffic control. It was simply lifted and applied even though the terms and conditions are completely different, as are the qualifications.

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: That is absolutely extraordinary – really remarkable. To be totally frank, it sounds quite shoddy. I worked with community organisations and I have been on the board of community organisations. These organisations have two to seven people involved in them and the charity regulator would be on top of a community organisation for not having clear suspension policies. That is quite...

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I will ask a very brief supplementary. I do not know how often this has applied in the past but has there been any understanding at any stage of even a customary criterion or is it entirely open ended?

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: On the head regarding informing superior officers about potentially facing a criminal charge that may be investigated and so on, I am not offering a firm view but I am trying to tease out how this is envisaged as operating. Lieutenant Colonel Priestley spoke about how the military police are currently not informed by the Garda Síochána where an investigation is taking place. Is...

Post-European Council: Statements (9 Jul 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I have two quick questions the Minister of State might take together. The clauses of the EU-Israel association agreement are clear. Israel is in breach of clause 2, as far as I am concerned. This has demonstrated the difficulty, where international agreements are breached, to bring that to a conclusion. Is the Minister of State concerned, with regard to future potential agreements like...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: How long do I have?
