Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (22 Nov 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the fact the Minister has called in the ambassador and spoken to him, but since then we have all got a briefing document from the ambassador that clearly contradicts what we are being told on the ground. I have it here. Has the Minister's attention been brought to that?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (22 Nov 2022)

On the UN Commission on the Status of Women, there have been calls by countries, including America, to have Iran...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (22 Nov 2022)

Catherine Connolly: This is a serious issue. I attended a very civilised protest in Galway a few weeks ago.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: United Nations (22 Nov 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for clarifying that. On the matter of Palestine, I know the Minister is on record as being a strong advocate of the Palestinian people but while that is the case, it seems that we wait for Europe on an awful lot of occasions to see what its position is. On this occasion, the position is divided, although I see 98 countries voted in favour of it, 17 against, and 52...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: United Nations (22 Nov 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Democracy is not working when it comes to Israel and the problem is the possible effects of that on the ground. The organisations that have been designated as terrorist organisations have been directly affected. They have been raided, ransacked and forcibly closed, with their equipment confiscated.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: United Nations (22 Nov 2022)

Catherine Connolly: My question is very specific. It is to ask what engagement the Minister has had with his counterparts in other EU countries on the recent draft resolution, on which Ireland voted in support, by the UN Special Political and Decolonization Committee requesting an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on Israel's occupation of Palestinian land since 1967. The resolution is...

Declaration of a Housing Emergency: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Here we go again, wishing the senior Minister was here, while acknowledging the bona fides of the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, who is present.

The figure for today, while this debate is taking place, is 10,975...
