- Seanad: Situation in Palestine: Statements (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I commend Senator Frances Black for her dedication to Palestine and bringing forward this Bill. I assure her that she and the Bill have the full support of the Sinn Féin Party in the Seanad. It is a fact that goods produced are the result of war crimes.

The witnesses stated that they empathise...
