Foreign Conflicts. (22 Feb 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome the Minister's answer. In January of this year the Spanish Prime Minister spoke optimistically of the progress he expected to make in the peace process. Batasuna, a political party, has restated that dialogue is the way forward and there is widespread speculation within the region that some degree of conflict is still ongoing between the Spanish authorities and the Basque...

Foreign Conflicts. (22 Feb 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Obviously there is no understanding among the Spanish authorities of the peace process that has taken place in Ireland. Will the Minister use his good offices to impress on the Spanish authorities that banning a political party is not conducive to encouraging dialogue or progress in its peace process? Looking at the yardstick of our peace process, setting unattainable goals at this stage is...

Labour Affairs: Motion. (21 Feb 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: In Sinn Féin we believe that workers' rights are human rights. As such, all workers should be entitled to expect equal access to, and enforcement of, their rights.
