- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2023)
Micheál Martin: I believe there is something morally wrong with the fact that an authoritarian and aggressive neo-imperialist power has a de factoveto on elements of how we as an independent Republic react to any given situation. That is the fundamental truth of where we are today. They invaded Ukraine, they violated the UN Charter and the Deputy is saying that they should have a veto over how, when and...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2023)
Micheál Martin: The Deputy has raised two issues, the first of which is the Middle East and the current situation there. I agree with everything the Deputy has articulated in respect of the appalling killing of children, innocent civilians and humanitarian aid workers whose work is extraordinarily brave and courageous. It is outrageous that the UN humanitarian workers are being killed, as it is in respect...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2023)
Micheál Martin: Through the Chair, in respect of the triple lock, the consultative forum was a very rational, reasonable, very well-balanced debate. That is important. There was clear consensus about supporting military neutrality. There is no question about that. In the context of the triple lock, there has not been a peacekeeping mission sanctioned by the UN since 2014.

The only party in this House that sought to actively undermine the Irish policy of military neutrality during the Second World War was the Sinn Féin Party. That party's leader erected a statue to Seán Russell who collaborated with the German Nazis. That is Sinn Féin's history...
